Read buy-sells from disk

[cstrader]

Hello,

I want to read a series of buy and sells from disk into minute charts. Each minute bar would have a buy a sell or neither.

It seems wasteful to read the disk file on every bar update.

Can I create an IntSeries and fill it minute-by-minute in the Initialize() method?

Or is the barseries not initialized until a barupdate occurs?

Is there a way to build the series ahead of time?

Thanks in advance

Hello Cstrader,

When you create a new series in the initialize and use the keyword "this" it will have the new series sync to the bars of the primary instrument.

You then set values in the OnBarUpdate as this will get run historically for each bar.

You cannot create the series to already have all the items already built in before processing.
