Hi, I'm new to the community. I'm a beginner (to almost intermediate :) programmer, and am currently learning Python.
May I ask if there's a way to set the Resolution in QuantConnect for several hours?
I'm seeing that Resolution can be set to tick, second, minute, hour, or daily – in this documentation:
https://www.quantconnect.com/docs/algorithm-reference/initializing-algorithms#Initializing-Algorithms-Selecting-Asset-Data
I'd ideally like to set the Resolution to some number of hours – like 6 hours, 12 hours, etc.
Thanks for any guidance!

Hi Steve,
The only present Resolutions are the ones you've mentioned above. However, you can use Consolidators to get data ate specified time frames other than the selected Resolution. I've attached an example of how to use a Consolidator to get data at 6-hour intervals. Hope this helps!

Jack,
Thanks so much for going over this. I've heard mention of this Consolidator. :) Glad to finally know what it does – and to learn that it solves this question I've had.
I really appreciate it.
Steve
