Hi,
I have a few questions about a trading algorithm I came up with.
1. I am getting a NoneType error during different time periods and I have seen other responses saying to do "If something is None: Return" but, this does not help in my situation.
2. I am hoping to get this algrothim to buy and sell during the trading hours when an if statement is executed instead of just at midnight.
3. Lastly, I am unsure if the elif statement off of the initial if statement will be executed? I am thinking it may not get executed due to the NoneType error. Any help is much appreciated.
Thanks,
Ken

To make sure the slice data exists for the specified symbol, it is necessary to add this
