      Hello, i am new to backtrader. I want to test how company announcements affect intraday stock prices. Announcements may come during the regular hours, pre or after-markets.

      I have this list of events (announcements). Can i use backtrader to test the effect of those events on stocks prices. I am thinking using 5 mins bars.

      I can actually write my own backtesting code, but i think it would be a lot better if backtrader could handle it.

      If there is an option, could have please give me directio8 where to look.
