Reward Discussion 
In honor of cryptos now available through GDAX I have been working on pulling together some examples to work with BTCUSD. I've incorporated data warmup with an EMA crossover to enable trading from day 2. I am running into an error when I launch as a paper trade live algo. Any advice or collaboration would be helpful, thank you.

Hey liquidgenius - The problem is not your code but rather a bug in the way we handled crypto history requests. We have corrected the bug. I cloned your algo and it's running as expected in Backtesting and Live. Thanks for posting!

Hey @Andrew Hart, I was using a variation of what @Liquidgenius created in this thread. It was working fine yesterday but today, it results in the error that he initially reported. Has there been a change that would cause this?

Todd Blacksher , please checkout attached backtest. I have only made the following change:
self.AddCrypto("BTCUSD", Resolution.Hour) # self.AddCrypto("BTCUSD", Resolution.Daily)and coundn't reproduce the issue.
This runtime error is due to a history request that has returned an empty dataframe:
history = self.History(["BTCUSD"], slow_period + 1)
if history.empty:
self.Log("EMPTY dataframe!")

That is what is weird Alexandre Catarino, I cant reproduce the issue either until I attempt to take live. I have submitted a support ticket, so you should be able to now view the full algorithm.
