Feature Request - Allow User to Specify Date Format #15

Closed alphaDev23 closed 1 year ago

alphaDev23 commented 1 year ago

The following is an idea. Different trading platforms require different date formats which if included as a option, will simplify work flow.

One little side effect of this change is the default format that pandas used to write the csv files expressed timezone offsets in "HH:MM" format instead of "HHMM". This means that this change will cause date formats to be different going forward, but overall it seems like an improvement so it's worth it in my opinion
