Dates off when using daily resolution by User65267

Hello Community,

I am using the EndOfDay function and compared the dates I see on the tradebars in OnData and the date of QCAlgorithm.

When everything involved as minute-resolution, things are fine and all the dates agree.

As soon as one thing has daily, things change - and the algo-date is ahead of the tradebars by a businessday.

You will see this in the logs, when you either enable the AddDataQuandl-line or change SPY and AAPL to be daily.

Am I taking a wrong turn somewhere or is there a problem with feeding data into the OnData-machinery?

Many thanks - C

Adding a backtest and the code showing the above.

There is no error here.

Lean is look-ahead bias free, that means that the engine will never receive data with a timestamp later than the algorithm Time.

In case of daily data, the latest available data today is from the day before (even if time is 23:58), because the today isn’t still closed

From the output of your algorithm:

Completed OnEndOfDay for Algo: 2014-01-02 23:58 AAPL|2014-01-02 15:59|74.13 SPY|2014-01-02 15:59|172.07 VX1|2013-12-31 00:00|13.91

Completed OnEndOfDay for Algo: 2014-01-03 23:58 AAPL|2014-01-03 15:59|72.49 SPY|2014-01-03 15:59|171.93 VX1|2014-01-02 00:00|14.17

Note how the last VX1 is from the day before the firing of the OnEndOfDay method.

I also same face similar issues. if you have daily resolution or take History with daily resolution

AddEquity(ticker, Resolution.Daily);

var history = History(stockData.Symbol, 50, Resolution.Daily);

OnData Event is fired on 12 am with previous day data. but critical issue is I think it is considering after hours data. so open close values are not matching with ususal hour data.

This pollutes history data too, so when updating indicators, indicator data also polluted with after hours data.

Any way to get daily data (market hours only)?

Hourly and daily data are sourced from market hours only ticks.
