Hi,
I'm trying to import custom data from https://api.gdax.com/products/BTC-USD/Ticker and add it as a REST subscription. I located an algorithm on the community that seems to accomplish this and it also deserializes the JSON data. The project won't compile and I get an error "No overload for 'HourBarHandler' matches delegate 'DataConsolidatedHandler'. Just wondering if anybody could help me out.

Hi, just a quick guess. Does your delegate handler have the right parameters?
You have: private void HourBarHandler(object sender, BaseData consolidated)
The parameters might not match. Maybe this example does what you require?
