Custom Data Collection

Specific implementation reference: https://github.com/microsoft/qlib/tree/main/scripts/data_collector/yahoo

1. Create a dataset code directory in the current directory
2. Add collector.py
   • add collector class:

     CUR_DIR = Path(__file__).resolve().parent
     sys.path.append(str(CUR_DIR.parent.parent))
     from data_collector.base import BaseCollector, BaseNormalize, BaseRun
     class UserCollector(BaseCollector):
         ...

   • add normalize class:

     class UserNormalzie(BaseNormalize):
         ...

   • add CLI class:

     class Run(BaseRun):
         ...

3. add README.md
4. add requirements.txt
