Hi, I have a timeseries signal on a particular security. It is one signal per security using OHLCV data. I'd like to basically get a feel of how the strategy compares against just going long the security? Is it possible to put 2 signals on the same graph in which case I can have my signal under test and a simple buy and hold signal and I can see how they compare? Is there another mechanism for doing this?

Yes please read the Custom Data section in the documentation. There are 10+ examples in the open source of this specific case.

Hi Jared, thanks - I'll review it. I have custom OHLCV data in the form of large csv files (>100MB). My solution to importing custom data was to export it to a format already understood by Lean/QuantConnect.

For data of that size would recommend breaking it into day-week timeframes and import it in pieces (custom data is build for that style)
