In backtesting, it seems economic data stream is only available in tick environment.
Is it possible to use econ data for other time intervals?
Hi William, if you are interested in a particular time series, you can use API function "getHistoricalEconstat" (https://algogene.com/TechDoc#QueryHistoryEcon).
This API function is available in non-tick environment as well, which allows data query based on a given economic series ID.
The example below is trying to get an economic timeseries every quarter.
Code:
Console Result:

Thank you.
I tested that "getHistoricalNews" is also availiable to query news data for non-tick environment. ^v^
