From doc, I see that there is a longer time limitation for Machine Learning method, self.Train().
I would like to ask if I do something like this:
def CoarseSelect(self, coarse):
self.Train(MyFunc())
# other things
return [My selection]
CoarseSelect is called daily, is it mean that I have 30 min limit daily for the call of CoarseSelect() ? Is there a difference between live and backtest?
Thank you very much.

Hi Sulfred,
Using self.Train just means the function passed has 30 minutes to run, and it is to make allow OnData to run longer, but coarse filters don’t have time limits. As for the difference between self.Train in backtesting and live, in backtesting, self.Train is synchronous, which means the algorithm stops until the function finishes running, while in live, self.Train is asynchronous, which means it is called, but the algorithm keeps running the rest of the code, which means we usually need a boolean flag to alert us if our model is ready.
Best,
