    1. Yes, you can upload your data files to "User Data" and use service.read_file() to read them.
    2. Could you further explain how you want to use the data? If you want to register your data to event stream, it will be updated on millisecond level. (You need to be a CQ Elite user first to use related methods. )
    3. No, it's not. You own your data as well as your strategy.

    Thanks for your answer.

    That data will be incorporate in trading strategies.

    • For backtesting, I need to load the file just one time.

    • For live trading It will need to upload a file at least before the trading session start. If it is possible to get new data every 1 min will be awesome. I have complex models running in a server.
