QUANTCONNECT COMMUNITY
I have tried to load Futures Tick data using the command :
future_history = qb.GetFutureHistory(gc.Symbol, datetime(2018, 1, 4), Resolution.Tick)
It returns empty data frame. Minute level resolution is working. I understand it's huge amount of information so I requested only one day data.
Any help thanks.

Thanks for your reply.

Hi Mark,
We're looking into enabling that feature but there is no set timeline right now. The issue is that some ticks have the same timestamp and data frames in the Research Environment aren't equipped to handle non-unique indexes. To handle this we will need to enable slice objects as well. Keep an eye on our News and Releases for any updates.

Hi Luis,
It is possible to analyze equity tick data in the research notebook. Learn more in the documentation on research and the documentation on tick data.I also highly recommend checking out the boot camps as they are the best way to learn Lean.

Thank you Rahul ,
I did see the Ticks documentation on research but I can not get it to work I can only get Minute. I understand qb.History does not do ticks,Â
I have to say I really like Quantconnect it is especially better than Quantopian in some aspects but documentation is not one of them. I also find the boot camp lacking in the training aspects of research and the jupyter notebooks.

Hi Luis,
Thank you for the feedback. We are always looking to improve the quality of our documentation and educational content. There are will be many more bootcamps in the future, including ones which cover research.
Sorry about my previous answer as it is incorrect. There is currently an issue with tick data in research and we are working on addressing it. For now, the best alternative is to use second resolution data.

Hi! I see this question is from three years ago. Now, do you know if now can we do analysis of futures data (daily)? Like S&P, Dow Jones and NASDAQ futures? for example? I have been looking for an example notebook to load the data, but I wasn't successful.
Regards,
Chris

Hi Christian,
Only Tick, Minute, and Second Resolution is available for Futures data. Please see these docs on using Futures data in the research notebook, and further down on the same page, an example is provided on how to convert data to Daily Resolution.
Best,
Shile Wen
