Share New Research 
Hi all,
I wrote a strategy that trades ADAUSD symbol at Bitfinex. It works nicely both in backtesting and research environment (with
self.SetBrokerageModel(BrokerageName.Bitfinex)command at strategy init).
but as I run it live, I get exception in the logs
Algorithm.AddSecurity(): System.ArgumentException: Symbol can't be found in the Symbol Properties Database: ADAUSD
