Regarding the statement "it is best to use Minute or Hour resolution and a Scheduled Event to perform daily operations to achieve realistic performance," how do I implement a Scheduled Event using the new algorithm framework (i.e., Universe Selection, Alpha Creation, Portfolio Construction, etc.).  For example, let's say I want generate insights every day 10 minutes after market open - where would I put my self.Schedule.On() function?
Alexandre Catarino
Hi Randall Cooper ,
We can pass the algorithm to the Alpha Model constructor and create the Scheduled Event where the callback method will use algorithm.EmitInsights to emit the generated insights:
# In Initialize self.SetAlpha(MyAlphaModel(self)) class MyAlphaModel(AlphaModel): def __init__(self, algorithm): self.algorithm = algorithm algorithm.Schedule.On( algorithm.DateRules.On(2013, 10, 7), algorithm.TimeRules.At(13, 0), self.SpecificTime) def SpecificTime(self): insights = [] # create insights logic self.algorithm.EmitInsights(insights) def Update(self, algorithm, slice): return []We are working on new universe selection and alpha models that will incorporate scheduled events to make this workaround unnecessary.

Thank you Alexandre for the quick reply and very helpful response - much appreciated!
