Running backtests on custom security(Altcoins) and pricing data

Hi,

I'm a newbie to the world of Algorithmic Trading. I was trying to build an altcoin strategy but it seems like zipline doesn't recognize Altcoins yet. Can someone please guide me on how should I go about adding custom securities to Zipline and importing its prices and then finally run a backtest on my strategy?

Starter code will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Thank you, Peter!
