Hi,
I have been trying (and failing) for a couple of days with something that seems as though it should be simple. I've searched the docs, forums, tutorials and google. I'm sure I must just be missing something!
I have a python script running on my home server that pulls data from various APIs and uploads a csv file to dropbox, once per day, with a selection of stocks and weights (weight as percentage, expressed as 0.0 - 1.0). I would like to use that csv to guide quantconnect to set holdings of each of the stocks to the associated weight.
I am able to download the csv into quantconnect and manipulate it as a dataframe, list, dict, etc. but cannot figure out how take that and use it to create my universe/portfolio.
Please help! Just a pointer in the right direction would be great.

Hi Graeme,
Refer to this example algorithm. We will add a link to this example in the Demonstration Algorithms section of the docs.
Best,
