Backtests for Intraday Strategies which involve exiting trade at particular time before auto square off about autotrader

@rahulmr I have just added a new method, add_data to AutoTrader (v0.5.21), which adds a bit more capability to providing local data files. See the documentation for this method here.

This can be achieved using the data_file attribute of an AutoTrader instance. See the Getting Price Data docs for an example. As a quick summary, you can provide the file name of your data as follows:

from autotrader.autotrader import AutoTrader

at = AutoTrader()
at.data_file = 'price_data.csv'

Just make sure that your file, eg. price_data.csv, is in a price_data sub-directory of your project, as this is where AutoTrader will search for it.
