AttributeError: 'CCXTBroker' object has no attribute 'startingcash'.

I add a CCXTBroker, data feed from CCXT, the code is like below:

broker_config = {
                #'verbose': True,
                'apiKey': 'xxxxx',
                'secret': 'xxxxx',
                }
broker = bt.brokers.CCXTBroker(exchange='okex', currency='USD', config=broker_config)
cerebro.setbroker(broker)

hist_start_date = datetime.utcnow() - timedelta(minutes=15)
data_ticks = bt.feeds.CCXT(
    exchange='okex',
    symbol='LTC/USD',
    name='LTC_USD',
    timeframe=bt.TimeFrame.Minutes,
    fromdate=hist_start_date,
    historical='False',
    compression=1)

# Add the Data Feed to Cerebro
cerebro.adddata(data_ticks)

It reports the error below:

Traceback (most recent call last):

What's going on here?
