Do I have to download SPY prices for the period?
I do not see any notifications indicating that no data is found locally/ needs downloading though.
I'm not familiar with Quantconnect's pricing structure. Help would be appreciated.
The lean installation seems to come with some data pre-installed (found in the data
directory), but there isn't much there. Likely the time range you're looking at doesn't exist locally. You'll have to download it yourself. If you have a custom source you can convert it into the formats specified here. How you do that is dependent on your broker/data plan. I for example am using Interactive Brokers, so I use ib_insync with a custom python script. It has proven very difficult however to convert fundamental data into the format Lean requires (just because there's so much to go through and map).
If you want to purchase data, you can find some options here which was found using this guide.
Pricing seems quite high for those of us who just want fundamentals for a single equity for development purposes but HTH anyway.
Thank you for help @JakeTheSnake3p0
Confused as to why changing the date range of the "My Project" code LEAN CLI gives 0 trades. My code is identical to the LEAN CLI demo except for a different date range and warm up.
Running the code prints:
