I get an error saying:



data_provider_factory.data_provider_nonRandom::provide_historical_data: EXIT, hist of STK,SPY,USD barSize=1 day is not ingested.

An exception has occurred, use %tb to see the full traceback.



and so it seems like the data I am requesting isn't ingested…I am unsure as to how I can fix this.

Hi Kevin, can you please specify whether you are requesting historical data from IB or are you reading historical data from CSV? It would also help to know the backtesting period and its time-frame.

It was from IB, but don't worry it's all fixed now! I am unsure why but that problem just stopped occuring all of a sudden.
