Downloading and Reading Supermind Data Locally
Summary
This community exchange explains how to use data downloaded with Supermind’s data ingestion command. A reply says the downloaded data can be accessed through the platform’s get_price function, without specifying the on-disk file format or a separate file-reading procedure.
The discussion also identifies the default local data directory and says users can change it, optionally migrating existing data. For research, it states that research_strategy works like the online research environment and can be used for backtesting. These details are practical platform usage guidance rather than a trading method. The thread is brief and relies on community replies; it does not document data schemas, supported markets, or limitations of local backtests.
