I have data that is not on the stock market, or listed. I have this data in a csv file. How can i upload this data and carry out an analysis on it? This data is of particular products which are unique to me.

Hi Waltey,

You can use Fetcher to load arbitrary CSV data via http. There are a few nuances to getting this to work smoothly, the best place to start is with the documentation and cloning a sample Fetcher algo. Make sure to look at the two different modes you can use for importing and choose the one that applies to your data set ( Either a.) security specific time series data that you want to map to existing identifiers in Qunatopian's database, such as per stock fundamentals or b.) time series data that does not map to existing securities 1 to 1, such as a time series of Consumer Sentiment Index )

Best, Jess
