I"m running live backtest on a scalping algo, and would love to see the difference in trading every 10 seconds rather than every minute...is that possible?

Hi Bryan,Â
you can use Resolution.Second and consolidate the bars to 10-second bars.Â

I think the limitations block this?

This is where I had defined it.
self.twtr = self.AddEquity("twtr", Resolution.Second)

Yes its possible. Please post an algorithm or snippet for further assistance.
The error above is not related to LEAN but the algorithm design. It sounds like its using IB for history calls and hitting IB rate limit.

Right now I'm running through Alpaca. Not trying to pull any historical data other than the current price of the ticker. Get that error if I change Resolution.Minute to Resolution.Second.
Maybe this is because I'm using "if" statements rather than something more elegant? Maybe I put in something that only loops when there's a transaction event?

Hi Bryan,
The algorithm above issues orders very frequently. Thus by setting the resolution to second, it's exceeding the API limit.
Instead of cancelling all the open orders at each timestep, consider just sending a new limit order after one of the active ones is filled.
Best,
Derek Melchin

At the bottom of the code, can I add something like this that says hold until an order is filled, then loop?

def OnOrderEvent(self, orderEvent): order = self.Transactions.GetOrderById(orderEvent.OrderId) if orderEvent.Status == OrderStatus.Filled: PassÂ
