I have some trouble with the event scheduling system. Im trying to fire 3 events in a specific order but it doenst work.
( I have inserted a "test"-variable to show the problem)
self.test = 0
self.Schedule.On(self.DateRules.EveryDay("AAPL"), self.TimeRules.At(9, 25), self.BeforeOpen)
self.Schedule.On(self.DateRules.EveryDay("AAPL"), self.TimeRules.BeforeMarketClose("AAPL", 5), self.BeforeClose)
self.Schedule.On(self.DateRules.EveryDay("AAPL"), self.TimeRules.At(16, 5), self.AfterClose)def BeforeOpen(self):
self.Debug(str(self.Time) + " before open // Test value: {} (expected to be 0)".format(self.test))
self.test = 1
def BeforeClose(self):
self.Debug(str(self.Time) + " before close // Test value: {} (expected to be 1)".format(self.test))
self.test = 2
def AfterClose(self):
self.Debug(str(self.Time) + " after close // Test value: {} (expected to be 2)".format(self.test)) # expected to be 2
self.test = 0 # reset the variable after market close
The result is:

As u can see the dates and the value of the test-variable get mixed up. Is there a way to fix this?

Hey Paul,
Thank you for your bug report. We've created a github issue, which you can follow here.
If you dont mind having data from extended hours, there is a solution to make your algorithm work as expected.
You can enable extend market hours data by setting the extendMarketHours parameter to True in AddEquity.
AddEquity(ticker, resolution = Resolution.Minute, market = Market.USA, fillDataForward = true, leverage = 0m, extendedMarketHours = false)Since named parameters are currently not supported for python algorithms on QC, you need to fill in the values for all the parameters.
self.AddEquity("AAPL", Resolution.Minute, Market.USA, True, 0, True)Paul N. Lee
