TradeBar spy = data["SPY"]
QuantConnect's Symbol automagically converts the string to a Symbol. You should look at the source code for TradeBar, TradeBars, DataDictionary, IDictionary, and Symbol in the source code. There you an see the properties and methods. That will give you a better feeling for these basic data types in QuantConnect (or any other algorithmic trading package for that matter). So if you have a custom data type, you can derive it from BaseData and BaseData will take care of the Time, Symbol and some other stuff for you. Michael has some great code using a custom class for BitCoin data and then getting that data from a custom web call. You should also be aware that Symbol has lately been revised by adding a SecurityIdentifer property called sid, so make sure you clone the latest Lean version from Github. The geniuses at QC have figured out a way to make that transparent so you can just use a string in place of the Symbol.Nicholas Stein
