I tried the below code and it ran successfully but returned an empty dataframe.
Can you please check this still works
es = qb.AddFuture("ES")
es.SetFilter(timedelta(0), timedelta(180))
future_history = qb.GetFutureHistory(es.Symbol, datetime(2017, 1, 11, 10, 10), datetime(2017, 1, 13, 12, 10))
future_history.GetAllData()
Hi,
We've just done an overhaul of our futures data and will have the Research Environment updated soon. Once this is done, this code should work fine, but if you continue to encounter issues with it in the next week, please let us know and we'll do our best to find a solution.

I want to evaluate some ideas on options. But I need the greeks, looks like we can not get them through `option_history.GetAllData()`. How can we get the greeks and IV?
Hi Ch9ki7,
In research environment, there is no direct access to those values, therefore you have to calculate on your own. However, we offer those values in backtesting terminal. Here is the usage of option data. Greeks and IV can be accessed as properties of OptionContract object.
Hope it helps!

Hi Jack,
I tried the example code for retrieving historical futures data, but when I get all the data nothing prints. Is there a bug for historical futures data?
Thanks,
Brian
Hi Brian,
Sorry about the inconvenience, we are aware of the bug and are working on addressing it for the community. Due to the current work in progress, we expect this will be resolved in about 1 week.

Thank you, Link! No worries I check back in about a week to try the code again.
