Hi!
I generated random data and trying to backtest algorithm with indicator, I'm getting an error:
20220710 19:26:34.572 ERROR:: TradeBar.Reader(): Error parsing stream, Symbol: CFC, SecurityType: Equity, Resolution: Daily, Date: 2021-12-20, Message: System.FormatException: String '1000500' was not recognized as a valid

at QuantConnect.Data.Market.TradeBar.ParseEquity(TradeBar tradeBar, SubscriptionDataConfig config, StreamReader stream, DateTime date) in /LeanCloud/CI.Builder/bin/Debug/src/QuantConnect/Lean/Common/Data/Market/TradeBar.cs:line 378

And where can I read about data generated? What are the last 5 columns? First are Date, Open, High, Low, Close, Open int, is it correct?
The data is:

Can anybody help please?

Hi Maryana
It seems like your data is not comma-separated? You may explore LEAN's data folder to check what each data type's raw data looks like. Ideally, to test a local backtest, you may refer to the random data generation doc and `lean data generate` API reference.
