Importing your universe via CSV

Seeking Help Using Data

I was able to get my csv file loaded, but I haven't figured out how to transfer that data into a series of orders for each security listed.
So far, I've only get one order and it appears to be the fourth security on the list (see backtest log output). If you have any advice, please comment.

Also, I notice that my custom data seems to be unfazed by placed orders.
