Hello,
I am trying to create a rolling data frame of OHLCV data. I am having some trouble with initializing the data frame. I am building it with the EmaCrossAlphaModel to make sure it compiling correctly. It seems to take a long time to run, I imagine I am doing something wrong. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
Keith

Hi Keith,
To speed up the algorithm, we can reduce the data resolution from minute (default) to daily.
self.UniverseSettings.Resolution = Resolution.Daily
Additionally, the algorithm above experiences issues with the index on the DataFrame. To fix this, we should replace
symbolData.rolling_window = algorithm.History(added.Symbol, self.window_size)
with
symbolData.rolling_window = algorithm.History(added.Symbol, self.window_size) if not symbolData.rolling_window.empty and 'close' in symbolData.rolling_window): symbolData.rolling_window = symbolData.rolling_window.loc[added.Symbol]
See the attached backtest for reference.
Continuing the development of this algorithm, consider warming up the DataFrame during the OnSecuritiesChanged method.
Best,
Derek Melchin
