Dear all,
Is it possible to load data (historic mainly) from the Bloomberg Profesional API?
Thanks in advance

Hi Georgios Chaniotis,
This feature is not built-in in Lean (QuantConnect's trading engine).

Hello,
I am looking for the option to directly get the data from Bitfinex for live trading. There is a problem I encounter with tick data:
- Firstly, I need to aggregate information from tick trade data to 5 mins, 10 mins for example. Unfortunately they do not have such REST end points. (they do have 5 mins, 10 mins, ... candle data; however, I aggregate the trade tick data in a special way).
- By calling their REST API for tick trade data I can have a LIST of all trades during last 5 minutes or so. I would like to aggreate them to ONE 5 minutes data line (in a form of a list/dict). I was wondering if there is a way to pass on such custom data to GetSource()?
Thanks, HP ÂLink Liang
Hi HP,
Please check here for some hints. I would recommend starting a new post with all your questions.

If you get the "Sequence contains no elements" error when importing your custom data from a CSV (through Dropbox for instance), here is the fix :Â
csv = line.rstrip(',').split(',')Basically pandas-saved csv have extra commas in case of missing values and the Reader function described here does not seem to like it. Hope it can help ;)

@Vineet this is possible in LEAN but not the cloud yet. We're working on making a connector for the cloud and it should be available in the next 2-3 weeks.Â
