Define "not work". Problem running it or does it simply perform poorly?

Sorry I wrote the question hastily because I had to go. The algorithm does not buy securities when its running in Live mode.

Hi Travis,
After we running your algorithm, we found out that the engine wasn't updating the user's universe instantly after we call AddSecurity method (responsible to add a security to the user's universe) in both backtesting and live mode. After you call AddSecurity, the added security would only be available on the next trading day.
Now it is working like expected.
You can add the following code snippet in your algorithm to track the changes in your security universe.
public override void OnSecuritiesChanged(SecurityChanges changes) { Log(Time + " -> " + changes); Notify.Sms("+1XXXXXXXXXX", Time + " -> " + changes); }Kudos to @Stefano who fixed that.

I'm so glad this problem is fixed. Now my algorithm is working exactly like it should with my custom data stream. Thanks for your hard work.

Great job, QC team. :-)
