I am curious to know how to use dividends data in QC
Say on the day that SPY issues dividend, and I hold 100 shares of SPY, I would like to see the cash in my portfolio increases. I know there is a dividends data event, should I do something like this:
public void OnData(Dividends data)
{
Portfolio.Cash = Portfolio.Cash + 100*Securities["SPY"].Dividend
}
I know this is funky, but anyone has a sample showing how to use this event handler?

Dividends get automatically applied to your portfolio depending on the DataNormalizationMode in the ApplyDividend method.
You can set the DataNormalizationMode using code like the following if you'd like to receive dividends as cash, you could also set it do DataNormalizationMode.Raw.
