CsvDirLoader questions/features about spectre HOT 2 CLOSED

CsvDirLoader was not designed to cover all situations when designing (too difficult), you can refer to QuandlLoader (It has fewer lines) to rewrite one for your needs.

Answer your questions:

My broker provides me data feeds named (for instance) AAPL.txt (read: not .csv); can CsvDirLoader access those (without having to rename/link them?)

No, you need rename to *.csv. I will add a parameter in the future.

My broker "csv" data doesn't have a csv header, how can I tell CsvDirLoader which column is what?

This can be done by passing the pandas.read_csv parameters, as an example:

loader = CsvDirLoader('path_to_files', parse_dates=True, prices_index='date', header=None, names=['date','open','high','low','close','volume'])
print(loader._load())

Does spectre supports intraday data

Yes. But CsvDirLoader needs time and date in one column. For your data, you may have to rewrite a DataLoader.

Thank you, very useful, I have reformatted the data accordingly.
