if I use quant connect cloud data by self.AddCrypto(), I know it is easy to shift to live trade from backtest;
but if I use custom data, what special things to do from backtest to live trade?

Hi Frank,
This is a difficult question to answer out of the blue. If your custom data is remotely accessible and if you use it correctly, it should work relatively smoothly…
There's documentation on custom data, but you also need to get a “feeling for it” I would say, from programming experience.

Hi Frank cao,
Please go through the following doc on importing custom data.
We also recommend going through the following threads[1, 2, 3] for more information and working examples.
