QUANTCONNECT COMMUNITY
Hi All,
I am trying to iterate through every symbol present in the 'data': Data(TradeBars data) object.
Could someone please post an example code of how I can retrieve the symbol/ticker names from this object in the form of a string?
To elaborate I have tried (note the count of the data object is greater then 2):
Share New Research 
data.Keys[0]But this returns error:
Cannot apply indexing with [] to an expression of type 'ICollection<Symbol>'
Cheers

Hi Lucas,
data, or the slice object, is a data dictionary where the keys are QC Symbol objects. Symbols have a number of attributes, but the one that contains the ticker string is Symbol.Value. I've attached a backtest with a number of ways to access the Symbol string, and this should provide you with enough information to implement the desired accessor method.

Thanks Gurumeher Sawhney, that worked! Cheers
