Usstock-1d update delay?

Technical Help
#1

Current time: 2020-11-10 10:13PM EST.

Ran a sanity check:

quantrocket history collect 'usstock-1d' --priority && quantrocket history wait 'usstock-1d' && quantrocket moonshot trade 'my-strategy' --review-date '2020-11-10' | csvlook -I

Error:

msg: expected signal date 2020-11-10 not found in target weights DataFrame.
underlying data up-to-date? (max date is 2020-11-09)

Sanity check does work with 2020-11-09. Is there a delay in usstock-1d collection?

Last traded date does not agree with end date of an asset in the bundle (metadata)

The usstock dataset is not ready that early. Check out the update schedule in the usage guide.

Ok so it's only good for research + backtest for prior EOD, but we couldn't do live trades until next day market open?

I.E. Referencing the dma-tech live-trading example this can only trade next day 9:30amEST open. If we wanted to trade the signal at 4:01pmEST we would need a specific database collected at 4:00pmEST right at close?

Correct. The dataset is suitable for live trading with order entry the following morning (which is the standard end-of-day use case). If you are wanting to place same-day extended hours trades, IBKR data would be the better choice for that.
