Premium EvenVestor Earnings Calendar - Bug
Peyman Pejman
posted Jul 23, 2016

I have been using EventVestor Earnings Calendar Data for the past couple of weeks, a couple of days ago I needed the data for 2015, so I bought the dataset. But interestingly, now I cannot run backtests with starting date before 2009-07-10, it says the dataset starts at 2009-07-10. I tried the same algorithm on a different account (which does not have premium data) and it works just fine for earlier dates. It seems that the premium data set begins later than the free version.

I have pasted the error below:

NoDataAvailable: Backtest began on 2007-01-02 and ended on 2016-01-01, but some of the requested datasets do not have data for this time. The datasets are: eventvestor.earnings_calendar: start=2009-07-10, end=2016-07-23. Your backtest must begin on or after: 2009-07-10 and end on or before: 2016-07-23.

Thanks for bringing this up, Peyman. This is an issue we're aware of (another user posted about it here). Listen to that thread for any updates on the situation.

Hi Nathan, thank you for your reply.
There is no solution on that thread either. Given that this is one of the premium datasets (yes one of the very cheap ones but still) I hope someone on the Q team can take a look sooner.
