hi, guys
I read the document and I didn't find a way to import my local data. For example, my data is located in file:///Users/guolifan/Downloads/h.xls. Could you show me the example to import local data?

Hi Lifan,
Here is an adaptation of the code snipped you can find at Importing Custom Data to accept local data:
public override SubscriptionDataSource GetSource( SubscriptionDataConfig config, DateTime date, bool isLive) { var source = <directory> + config.Symbol + ".csv"; return new SubscriptionDataSource( source, SubscriptionTransportMedium.LocalFile, FileFormat.Csv); }You could also use the original code snipped and download your own data:
First, you save your data in a public Dropbox folder, gets it's public link, paste it in the GetSource method and let Lean download it for you (click for example) With this setup, you can use your data locally and after you deploy it to QuantConnect.com.
