Hi all,
I am a new user to this platform and I was looking to trade SPY options that expire on the same day using the following option filter:
option.SetFilter(-10, 10, timedelta(0), timedelta(days = 1))
I get an error message saying "there was no-data at this moment in time and it wasn't possible to fillforward historical data". The code works fine when I extend the "timedelta(days = 1)" to something that encapsulates the expiry of other options (e.g. timedelta(days = 60)), but doesn't seem to catch options that expire on the same day that my code is being run on.
Thanks,
Ryan

Hi Ryan,
I couldn't reproduce the issue. See the attached backtest which demonstrates how to filter for options expiring on the current day. If this example doesn't help resolve the error message, please attach a full backtest so we can further assist.
Best,
