I am trying to create a dictionary. The key will be a ticker and correspond to a rolling window of data of a specific size. I am not sure how to tackle this. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Dictionary<Symbol, RollingWindow<double>> _myDictionary = new Dictionary<Symbol, RollingWindow<double>>(); _myDictionary["SPY"] = new RollingWindow<double>(windowSize); //relies on implicit conversion from string to Symbol and is bad practice, try to store Security references and use their symbols instead
You mean like the above? What specific aspect of it is troublesome? Maintaining the data structure?

class StrategyData { Symbol symbol; RollingWindow window; } List<StrategyData> _data;
