Is it possible to trade a stock that's not in QC (e.g., OTC or international stock) by importing the daily prices with a CSV and creating a custom stock to trade?
For example, in this attached backtest, I'm attempting to import price/volume data for CLXPF since it's not in QC.
I'm stuck at the moment, and not even sure if this is possible. I've reviewed the documentation on importing custom data, but haven't found the answer to this.

Hi Patrick
You just need to fill up the correct info of time, your format is not correct so LEAN engine cannot read it. One suggestion is also include OHLC data in reader for further manipulation, same way of importing volume.
