Hello, Is it possible to use data generated during runtime (for example on OnData callback of my algorithm) instead of requiring the data to be read from a source (file,remote,rest) ?
What I Intend it would be pretty similar to the livefeaturesalgorithm (Bitcoin class) but using a dummy SubscriptionDataSource.

Hi Edgar,
In order to access OnData, you need to use AddSecurity or AddUniverse method in Initialise method, say AddEquity("SPY", Resolution.Second). Once in OnData, you can use data generated at runtime.
I am not sure that is what you mean, though. we have seen people, for example, using the System.Net.WebClient class to download an external csv file that were being updating at their public dropbox folder.

Welcome @Edgar; you might be able achieve what you're seeking; but there are probably more efficient ways to do it. Could you setup a scheduled event which triggers every second and use that to generate the data you want?
