        Can either of the above methods work if you're backtesting an ASCII dataset?
In my case, I am trying to control my entry condition based on the movement of "BTC-USD" (one of the symbols in my ASCII dataset) but this results in the strategy never entering into any position, regardless of what the condition for "BTC-USD" might be.
