An issue with plotting in case of multiple datastreams

crystalet

Hello all,

I am new to backtrader and in my attempt to get familiar with the system, I ran into a strange issue, which might be down to a small oversight or some misconfiguration, but I am hoping to find some help here.

I have prepared a small datafile

Dates,Open,High,Low,Close,Volume,Openinterest
2000-01-04,25.2,25.69,24.71,25.55,1,2

2000-02-09,28,28.84,27.71,28.77,1,2

and the python script I am running is:

from __future__ import (absolute_import, division, print_function,
                        unicode_literals)
import backtrader as bt
class TestStrategy(bt.Strategy):

    def log(self, txt, dt=None):
        ''' Logging function for this strategy'''
        dt = dt or self.datas[0].datetime.date(0)
        print('%s, %s' % (dt.isoformat(), txt))

    def __init__(self):
        # Keep a reference to the "close" line in the data[0] dataseries
        self.datetime  = self.datas[0].datetime
        self.dataclose = self.datas[0].close
        self.dataopen  = self.datas[0].open
        self.datahigh  = self.datas[0].high
        self.datalow   = self.datas[0].low

    def next(self):
        self.log('Close, %.2f' % self.dataclose[0])

if __name__ == '__main__':
    # Create a cerebro entity
    cerebro = bt.Cerebro()

    DataPath = 'C:\\dev\\datafolder\\'
    DataFile = 'SampleError.csv'
    data = bt.feeds.GenericCSVData(
        dataname = DataPath + DataFile,
        timeframe=bt.TimeFrame.Days,
        reverse  = False,
        dtformat ='%Y-%m-%d',
        datetime = 0,
        time = -1,
        open = 1,
        high = 2,
        low = 3,
        volume = 5,
        close = 4,
        openinterest = 6,
    )
    cerebro.adddata(data)

    data2 = cerebro.resampledata(data, timeframe=bt.TimeFrame.Weeks, compression=1 )
    #cerebro.adddata(data2)

    # Add a strategy
    cerebro.addstrategy(TestStrategy)


    print('Starting Portfolio Value: %.2f' % cerebro.broker.getvalue())

    thestrats = cerebro.run()  # (stdstats=False, runonce=False)

    cerebro.plot()

The output looks like this (and my questions below)

Python 3.6.4 |Anaconda, Inc.| (default, Jan 16 2018, 10:22:32) [MSC v.1900 64 bit (AMD64)] on win32

    plottedline = pltmethod(xdata, lplotarray, **plotkwargs)

So my questions are:

What is this warning about the interactive backend? And do I care or not care?
What am I doing wrong that I cannot have this resampled code as a second feed?

I tried also to load another datafile and left a gap in the bars. Same kind of error. Have not tried on a different system (was planning to do this on a fresh PC)

Hope to find some clarity.

That's something in your configuration for matplotlib

You need to tell us something more. Why cannot you? There is no indication of an error. Your snippet runs.

The error you have is generated by interactiveshell.py from IPython and not by backtrader. You probably have to back to your configuration for matplotlib and disable Qt5Agg

Or else you run in the shell and see how things work out of the box when not hijacked by wrapping environments.

ok i will have a look and report back on this one.

the code runs indeed, but the plot fails to be generated... again, will try the above and see.

just wanted to stop by and say thank you already. Have not had time to look at it properly yet
