Hi all,
Can anyone help me with the quandl data? Specifically, part of my stragety involves CBOE/VIX data, and the data is not matching when I compared wth the source.

2018-1-8 is Monday and is missing data.
2018-1-20 is Saturday and it is running.

The log statements here: 2018-03-15 00:00:00 : vix close: 17.23
Is when the bar arrives in your algorithm -- i.e. after the bar has closed. So this is +1 day from when the bar starts. So e.g. it will appear like its starting on Tuesday and finishing on Saturday.

That explains the behavior of it. Doesn't it make more sense of having:
Monday gets last Friday close price
Tuesday gets Monday close price
....
Friday gets Thursday
There should not have data and my stragety should not be exeucted on Sat.
Or how do I properly handle this?
Wally Tung
Also, if the data is coming in from Tue. to Sat onData(). Why the data is missing on 2018-1-6, which I expect $9.22?
The source has the following data:
1/4/18 $9.22
1/5/18 $9.22

Hi Wally,
Please check this algorithm. On 01/06/2018, the vix close is 9.22. The vix data is daily. You can only get the daily OCHL after the day. For example, at 2018-01-04 00:00:00, you get the daily OCHL on 2018-01-03.
Wally Tung
Thanks for the reply. That was very helpful. The only problem now is SetWarmUp line 19 and I am getting error.
System.Exception: A data subscription for type 'PythonQuandl' was not found.
at QuantConnect.Lean.Engine.AlgorithmManager+d__22.MoveNext () [0x0074d] in Lean.Engine.AlgorithmManager+d__22.MoveNext () [0x0074d] in :0
Is there any fix / workaround to preload custom data?
Blago Baychev
I'm having the same issue - as soon as you add SetWarmUp it gives you the "data subscription for type 'PythonQuandl' was not found." - has anyone found a solution/workaround?
Jared Broad
Posting bug reports to the forum get lost as demonstrated with this 3mo old thread; if you think there's a bug in LEAN please the report to support@quantconnect.com with a simple test case and then we can isolate, verify and record it to be fixed.
