Dear Catalyst Maintainers,

I'm trying to get new price data from binance but am unable to retrieve it. Has this library been deprecated? Is there another library i should use instead of this one? please advise $ catalyst ingest-exchange -s 2020-01-20 -e 2020-05-23 -x binance -f daily

I am unable to run

    run_algorithm(
            capital_base=1000,
            data_frequency='daily',
            initialize=initialize,
            handle_data=handle_data,
            analyze=analyze,
            exchange_name='binance',
            algo_namespace=NAMESPACE,
            quote_currency='usdt',
            start=pd.to_datetime('2018-1-20', utc=True),
            end=pd.to_datetime('2020-4-20', utc=True),
        )

responds with

catalyst.exchange.exchange_errors.PricingDataNotLoadedError: Missing data for binance btc_usdt in date range [2020-01-21 00:00:00+00:00 - 2020-03-10 00:00:00+00:00]

Enigma stopped maintaining the library a couple years ago when the crypto bubble popped and their funding was greatly restricted.

I would recommend moving on and researching backtesting without a framework like zipline/catalyst
