Hello!
Quick quesiton on getting a single historical value (for example). Let's say I'm looking for the close of IBM at 2019-05-23 00:00:00. If I use the following code to create the history for this - how can I call that single index via the DataFrame (this is in py) to get this value. It may just be me not knowing much about DataFrames, but it seems like I can't call this via the index.
self.SetStartDate(2019, 5, 24)
self.SetCash(100000)
date1 = datetime.datetime(2019, 5, 23,0,0,0)
self.AddEquity("IBM", Resolution.Minute)
df = self.History(self.Symbol("IBM"), 2880, Resolution.Minute)
#what I thought would work but does not:
self.Log(df.loc[date1,'close'])Any help would be appreciated! I'm sure I'm doing something silly here.
Best,
SC
