Algorithm requires equity

We provide the free equity data feed in live environment for your paper trading. That line tells that you've selected the QC equity data feed for your live algorithm. You can click the  "next" to proceed your live deployment and choose the live server.

Thank you for the response. I have another question, when I previously ran the code (during trading hours) I would not get fill prices for orders. I found somones code on here (since I am new to python) a while back and just wanted to see how things works. It worked during backtests but, I am not sure it worked with the paper trading. Thanks again.

import numpy as np
from datetime import datetime


class MovingAverage(QCAlgorithm):

def __init__(self):
self.previous = None
self.ma = None
self.position = None
self.lastMonth = -1

def Initialize(self):

self.SetStartDate(2018,10,1) #Set Start Date
self.SetEndDate(2018,10,29) #Set End Date
self.SetCash(100000) #Set Strategy Cash
self.AddSecurity(SecurityType.Equity, "SPY", Resolution.Daily)
self.AddSecurity(SecurityType.Equity, "IEF", Resolution.Daily)
self.SetWarmUp(440)

self.ma = self.SMA("SPY", 220, Resolution.Daily)

def OnData(self, data):

if self.IsWarmingUp:
return


if not data.ContainsKey("SPY"):
return

if self.lastMonth == self.Time.month:
return

if data["SPY"].Close > self.ma.Current.Value:
if self.position == None:
self.SetHoldings("SPY", 1)
else:
if self.position == "IEF":
self.Liquidate("IEF")
self.SetHoldings("SPY", 1)
self.position = "SPY"
else:
if self.position == None:
self.SetHoldings("IEF", 1)
else:
if self.position == "SPY":
self.Liquidate("SPY")
self.SetHoldings("IEF", 1)
self.position = "IEF"

self.lastMonth = self.Time.month

The backtesting works fine as expected. The algorithm is based on the daily resolution, if you deploy it to live and the trading condition is satisfied, you won't get the trade immediately. The market order will be converted to the MarketOnOpenOrder. It is executed after the market opens the next day.

Ok thank you again and is there a way to have the order fill immediately instead of next day?

MarketOrder() fills immediately but on what resolution the order fills depends on the data subscribed in the algorithm with self.AddSecurity(). If you choose daily resolution, OnData() is called every day. If you choose minute resolution, OnData() is called every minute. 

Ok, thank you again for all the help.
