Hi
I'm getting unexpected results in the Research environment when I retrieve intra-day Forex data. Am I doing something wrong?
In the attached notebook, the data rows after 2019-08-12 02:00:00 cannot be correct.
Cheers, Tony

Hi Tony,
Thanks for sharing your notebook. It looks like data is missing from 8/12 in UTC time so a fill forward was done. This appears to be a FXCM data issue and we are working on patching it in the research environment. If you give the same code a try with Oanda data (Market.Oanda), you should see data for 8/12. Additionally, you should see that backtesting data is not affected by this same issue.Â
Thanks for letting us know!

Hi Sherry
Thanks for clarifying that. I had just worked that out myself by comparing it with data in Algo Lab. Some intra-day data is missing from the FXCM data (in the Algo Lab as well). I found another period with the same problem: 2019-06-03 02:00:00 onwards.
You can see in my notebook that I am specifying Oanda data. I tried both Oanda and FXCM, but I get identical data. Perhaps I have something wrong in the qb.AddForex() method call. How can I be sure to retrieve Oanda data. Any suggestions?
Cheers
Tony
