Hi,
I have custom tick data. How can I consolidate it into 1 minute data?

We can consolidate custom tick data when our custom tick data class inherits from Tick:
public class MyTickData : Tick { public MyTickData() { } public MyTickData(Symbol symbol, string line, DateTime baseDate) { var csv = line.Split(','); DataType = MarketDataType.Tick; Symbol = symbol; Time = baseDate.Date.AddMilliseconds(csv[0].ToInt32()); Value = csv[1].ToDecimal() / 10000m; TickType = TickType.Trade; Quantity = csv[2].ToInt32(); Exchange = csv[3].Trim(); SaleCondition = csv[4]; Suspicious = csv[5].ToInt32() == 1; } public override BaseData Reader(SubscriptionDataConfig config, string line, DateTime date, bool isLiveMode) { return new MyTickData(config.Symbol, line, date); } public override SubscriptionDataSource GetSource(SubscriptionDataConfig config, DateTime date, bool isLiveMode) { var source = "path/to/local/file"; return new SubscriptionDataSource(source, SubscriptionTransportMedium.LocalFile, FileFormat.Csv); } }Then normally use TickConsolidator:
// In Initialize AddData<MyTickData>("BAC", Resolution.Tick); var consolidator = new TickConsolidator(TimeSpan.FromMinutes(1)); consolidator.DataConsolidated += OnMinuteData; SubscriptionManager.AddConsolidator("BAC", consolidator); private void OnMinuteData(object sender, TradeBar bar) { Log(bar.ToString()); }Alexandr Trenkenshu
Thanks a lot, Alexandre
