Hi
I was trying to retrieve historical FOREX data from FXCM in both research book and my algorithm.
However, I'm getting empty data all the time using below snippet:
Share New Research 
qb = QuantBook()
usdchf = qb.AddForex(
'GBPCHF',
Resolution.Minute,
Market.FXCM
)
history = qb.History(usdchf.Symbol, 360, Resolution.Minute)
history.head()
Can anyone help me out here?

Hi Michael,
Hmmm I tested multiple thiings and it really looks like the data is not available on the Research node (but it should be - GBPCHF is in FXCM). I would report to support@quantconnect.com if I was you.
