Hi,
I have scheduled function using schedule-function
schedule_function(trade, date_rule=date_rules.every_day(),
time_rule=time_rules.market_open(), half_days=True)
In the before_trading_start below logic results in trade function scheduled not to be called as Quantopian data is empty when len(context.my_universe.index) <= 0
Logic below doesn't work
update_universe(context.my_universe.index)
However, for cases when len(context.my_universe.index) <= 0, updating universe with dummy data helps in triggering the scheduled function. Any idea why?
if len(context.my_universe.index) > 0:
update_universe(context.my_universe.index)
else:
update_universe([sid(8554)])
