OverflowError: int too large to convert to float
-
Im running an example from here: https://ntguardian.wordpress.com/2017/06/12/getting-started-with-backtrader/ and I ran into this error:
~/anaconda3/lib/python3.6/site-packages/backtrader/position.py in update(self, size, price, dt) 191 if size < 0: # increased position 192 opened, closed = size, 0 --> 193 self.price = (self.price * oldsize + size * price) / self.size 194 195 elif self.size < 0: # reduced position OverflowError: int too large to convert to float
Seems like a simple error- self.price could easily be huge. Wondering if anyone else has encountered it, and if not what the next steps are (Im VERY new to github)

It's a limitation of floating point storage capabilities (64 bits and you have to account for sign, mantissa and exponent). What is what you want to do?
