Hi Warren Harding . Yes! definitely you can. Here is a simple example:
class BasicTemplateAlgorithm(QCAlgorithm): def Initialize(self): # Set the cash we'd like to use for our backtest # This is ignored in live trading self.SetCash(100000) self.SetStartDate(2016,2,3) self.SetEndDate(2016,2,5) # Add assets you'd like to see self.spy = self.AddEquity("SPY", Resolution.Minute).Symbol def OnData(self,data): if self.Time.hour == 10 and self.Time.minute == 30: history = self.History(self.spy,60,Resolution.Daily) self.Log(str(history))
