As I know, the history request does not include the latest/current price bar until it closes in the end of market and I want to add it to the previous data whenever i called.
My strategy is to buy 7-days low SPY at 15mins before market close. Also , at that time, the price should be above sma200.
Below is my first code but i got the error. Could someone help, please. Thanks!
Error:
BacktestingRealTimeHandler.Run(): There was an error in a scheduled event SPY: EveryDay: SPY: 30 min before MarketClose. The error was AttributeError : 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'Close'

Hi KY,
There was a dividend event on Nov 15th 2014 of SPY. Therefore that data entry does not contain a tradebar and caused this error. To prevent it, you could put a None check at the top of OnData() method:
if not data.Bars.ContainsKey("SPY"): return
