All my backtests work, but when I go live, I get a runtime error:
Runtime Error: 'AAPL' wasn't found in the Slice object, likely because there was no-data at this moment in time and it wasn't possible to fillforward historical data. Please check the data exists before accessing it with data.ContainsKey("AAPL") in Slice.cs:line 315 Stack Trace: 'AAPL' wasn't found in the Slice object, likely because there was no-data at this moment in time and it wasn't possible to fillforward historical data.

How do I know if my code is good to trade live, because I don't get errors in my backtests?

Hey Alex Veraart,
you can check if your data for AAPL is ready by adding this to your code:
Another way would be to initiate a warmup request. Doing that, as soon as it is finished the algo will have the data it needs to start trading. Note that for this you will have to check if the algo is warming up.

Hope it helps ;)

Yes, thanks. I build in the first option. Code did it the entire trading day. Unfortunately, no trade entry to test my code, but the error is gone!Â
