QUANTCONNECT COMMUNITY
I'm having difficulty using quandl futures data with indicators. I have successfully used Bitcoin quandl data as demonstrated in tutorial (separate bitcoin file).
Do I need a similarly separate file to format the futures data from quandl in a format that can be handled by the indicators? Not sure why the indicators can't work with the quandl data, but the backtest engine can. If someone has some insight conceptually into what is needed, that would be helpful for me

var crudeSlowConsolidator = new DynamicDataConsolidator(period: TimeSpan.FromDays(1), isTradeBar: false, hasVolume: false); RegisterIndicator(_crude, _smaSlow, crudeSlowConsolidator, x => x.Value);The "x => x.Value" tells us what should be passed into the indicator. For simple indicators (SMA, EMA) this works fine. If an indicator requires tradebars or volume, you'll need to make sure the quandl data appears with headings as "Open, High, Low, Close,Volume" I'd recommend digging into the indicator system if you plan to do complex things :) Check out our Lean engine tutorial: https://lean.quantconnect.com/docs#topic14.htmlThe material on this website is provided for informational purposes only and does not constitute an offer to sell, a solicitation to buy, or a recommendation or endorsement for any security or strategy, nor does it constitute an offer to provide investment advisory services by QuantConnect.
