Share New Research 
I just tried repurposing a simple algorithm that was running on Coinbase Pro. Since Coinbase Pro has limited symbols to trade I opened an account on Bitfnex in order to trade deeper into the available pool cryptocurrencies.
Lesson learned: I think the Bitfnex price data is off. Instead of trying to troubleshoot where the error was coming from, I just changed my price feed to GDAX while trading on Bitfnex.
SetBrokerageModel(BrokerageName.Bitfinex, AccountType.Cash);
//loop through our list of symbols and add them to the subscription manager
foreach (var symbol in CryptoSymbols)
{
var crypto = AddCrypto(symbol, dataRes, Market.GDAX);
Data.Add(symbol, new SymbolData(crypto.Symbol, crypto.BaseCurrencySymbol));
}
Thoughts?

Hi OkiTrader,
We recommend matching the data provider with the brokerage model. The above might work in a backtest, but not in live trading. We encourage users to submit a data issue whenever some of the data is found to be incorrect.
Best,
