Hello,
I would like to use custom data such as `SECReport10K` in my algorithms, but I get an out of memory exception as soon as I use more than a few handful of securities.
I add the data with `AddData`.
Is there anything I should do to free memory when the security is removed from the universe, or is custom data unsubscription taken care of automatically?
Has anybody had better luck?
Looking forward to your thoughts.
public override void Initialize()
{
SetStartDate(2018, 1, 12); //Set Start Date
SetCash(100000); //Set Strategy Cash
AddUniverse(Universe.DollarVolume.Top(50)); // creashes already with 30 or less
}
public override void OnData(Slice data)
{
foreach (BaseData baseData in data.Values.Where(sym => sym.Symbol.IsCustomDataType<SECReport10K>())) {
Debug($"{Time}: {baseData}");
}
}
public override void OnSecuritiesChanged(SecurityChanges changes)
{
base.OnSecuritiesChanged(changes);
foreach (Security security in changes.AddedSecurities) {
AddData<SECReport10K>(security.Symbol);
}
// foreach (Security security in changes.RemovedSecurities) {
// .. is there something we should do to remove custom data?
// }
}

Hi R G,
When we add alternative data that is linked to a Security, we can save the alternative data Symbol in a dictionary keyed by the underlying Symbol and use that alternative data Symbol to remove its subscription when the underlying is removed:
Please find the fully working example on the US SEC Filings dataset page.
Best regards,
Alex
