Hi,
I have been using keras module. At certain point my old algos started giving me this error:
System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object

Does anybody know, what is going on here? If I don't use keras in the code, it works fine.

The error System.NullReferenceException occurs when you are trying to use something that is NULL. This means the object was either set to NULL, or nothing was ever set. There are a few reasons why this could occur: it could be TradeBar construction, a history request, or even security symbols. For example, the simple algorithm below creates this error because a security object instead of a symbol object was passed. If an algorithm were attached, determining the specific problem would be easier.
class BasicTemplateAlgorithm(QCAlgorithm): def Initialize(self): self.SetStartDate(2013,10, 7) self.SetEndDate(2013,10,11) self.SetCash(100000) self.security = self.AddEquity("SPY", Resolution.Daily) def OnData(self, data): if not self.Portfolio.Invested: self.SetHoldings("SPY", 1) self.Log(str(self.Securities[self.security].Price))Artur Sokolovsky
