My very first algo on QuantConnect. The error that I am getting is: "object has no attributable securities". Any help with debugging would be very much appreciated.
On a separate note, when making my very first step in Quantopian I liked priniting everything, so that I could see what is actually happening to the data. In this case, if I would like to print SPY daily Close prices and the moving average daily, how would I use the "debug" function?
Lastly, in the context below, if there any difference between self.securities["SPY"].Price and self.securities["SPY"].Close?
Many thanks in advance for all your help!
class EnergeticOrangeBuffalo(QCAlgorithm):
def Initialize(self):
self.SetStartDate(2008, 1, 1) # Set Start Date
self.SetCash(100000) # Set Strategy Cash
self.spy = self.AddEquity("SPY", Resolution.Daily)
self.sma = self.SMA("SPY", 30, Resolution.Daily)
def OnData(self, data):
if not self.sma.IsReady:
return
if self.securities["SPY"].Price>self.sma.Current.Value:
self.SetHoldings("SPY", 1)
else:
self.SetHoldings("SPY", -1)

# based on what's shown, i didnt backtest this class EnergeticOrangeBuffalo(QCAlgorithm): def Initialize(self): self.SetStartDate(2015, 1, 1) # Set Start Date self.SetEndDate(2016, 1, 1) # Set End Date self.SetCash(100000) # Set Strategy Cash self.spy = self.AddEquity("SPY", Resolution.Daily) self.sma = self.SMA("SPY", 30, Resolution.Daily) def OnData(self, data): if not self.sma.IsReady: return Close = data["SPY"].Close SMA = self.sma.Current.Value self.Debug("SPY Closing Price: " + str(Close) + ", 30 period SMA Value: " + str(SMA)) # if self.securities["SPY"].Price>self.sma.Current.Value: # you could capitalize the S, i think that was the error if Close > SMA: self.SetHoldings("SPY", 1) else: self.SetHoldings("SPY", -1)Mitch Carrara
