Add ability to import data other than trading instruments

Hi SQX Team,



I know it has been mentioned before, but it would be great if additional data could be imported that can be used as indicator values, but cannot be traded. Such data would not necessarily be of the usual bar or tick variety, but would contain one of more values.


Such data could be trader sentiment data,  treasury yield calculations, VIX volatility, number of tweets per hour,  anything.


It would behave in a similar way to the multi-symbol strategy building, but such data wouldn't have a spread, or commission or such features, merely be numeric values to go into relevant building blocks.


Any questions, please let me know.


Regards,


Mike

I still cannot understand why SQX does not support importing "indicator" style data to create a custom indicator?  SQ4 had this and it means you can calculate values outside of SQX and use them as indicators.


Without this, SQX is useless, apart from created countless curve fitted strategies based on historic price data only...
