Loading in the custom data all works well if I want to call any of the following in OnData()
yld["Open"] = float(data[1])
yld["High"] = float(data[2])
yld["Low"] = float(data[3])
yld["Close"] = float(data[4])
yld["Adj_Close"] = float(data[5])
yld["Volume"] = float(data[6])
eg data["grid"].Close
but if I try:
yld["blue_neg_one"] = float(data[8])data["grid"].blue_neg_one I get the following error.
AttributeError : 'Data' object has no attribute 'blue_neg_one'
essentially my question is, How do you access the other column when importing custom data. Having read through the examples there don't seam to be any applicable refrences to this.

Hi James,
To access “blue_neg_one”, we use data[self.grid].GetProperty(‘blue_neg_one’). Also, to be extra safe, I’ve added if data.ContainsKey(self.grid): to make sure we have the data before trying to access it.
Best,
