Can someone please advise how to use zipline with locally stored csv files. Using yahoo finance or any other online sources is simple enough, but I can't seem to get it working with my own csv files.
From what I can tell there are two options:
- load the csv directly into a pandas dataframe using read_csv
- use fetch_csv to read in the locally stored file://
I haven't had any luck with either option. Im not sure if my problem lies in the python script, or am I using the incorrect flags when calling run_algo.py
I thought this would work (just as a basic example):
To keep it simple I downloaded some AAPL daily data directly from yahoo finance and added a symbol column (which I think is required?)
