Hello,
I am facing this error while backtesting and somehow it fails after running the backtest until midway. The same code works with smaller universe.
Code Line -
for time, row in history.loc[symbol].iterrows():
Error -
Runtime Error: TypeError : object is not callable
at OnSecuritiesChanged in main.py:line 52
at __init__ in main.py:line 138
TypeError : object is not callable (Open Stacktrace)

Any help would be appreciated.!!

Hi Ray,
This issue surfaced because the `history` DataFrame was empty for the given symbol. The symbol causing the problem in this situation is DRYS. For some reason, the `History` method returns an empty DataFrame for DRYS during backtesting while returning a full DataFrame in the research environment. I've opened a GitHub issue for this bug. Its progression can be tracked here.
Best,

Is there a recommended solution to this error? May be running in to similar issues. Thanks.

Hi Dahui,
I'd suggest first checking if the Symbol is in the History request and also checking the .empty field of the History DataFrame before use.
