When setting initial portfolio holdings for custom data symbols, you would still need to provide a symbol ID. However, the symbol ID for custom data might not be as straightforward as for standard securities.
In the case of the
CustomDataBitcoinAlgorithm, you would need to use the symbol that you've defined when you added the custom data to your algorithm. For example, if you added the custom data like this:Then "BTC" would be the symbol you use.
However, please note that the symbol ID is not the same as the symbol. The symbol ID is a unique identifier generated by LEAN to represent the security. It is not directly settable by the user in the algorithm and is assigned when the security is added to the algorithm.
Unfortunately, the extracts provided do not contain specific information on how to retrieve or assign symbol IDs for custom data in live trading with the Lean CLI. For more detailed guidance, you may want to refer to the QuantConnect documentation or ask for help in the QuantConnect forum.
