preventing labels for all data feeds showing when plotting

  • S

    I have a few hundred data feeds that Im running a portfolio strategy over. I would like to plot just the observer results and perhaps one of the data feeds as a reference but I haven't figured out how to turn off the data labels showing for the trades observer.

    I am setting plotinfo.plot = False for all the data feeds except the first one which seems to work when I use just 6 of the data feeds but when I add all the data feeds I get the plot show below.

    With all feeds

    With just 6 feeds

    #run
cerebro = bt.Cerebro()
cerebro.addstrategy(St)
cerebro.broker.setcash(20000.0)
cerebro.addobserver(bt.observers.TimeReturn, timeframe=bt.TimeFrame.NoTimeFrame)
cerebro.addobserver(bt.observers.Benchmark, data=benchmark, timeframe=bt.TimeFrame.NoTimeFrame)
cerebro.adddata(benchmark, name='SPY')
for feed in feeds:
    cerebro.adddata(feed[1], name=feed[0])
results = cerebro.run()
cerebro.plot(iplot=False, style='candle')

    #strategy
for d in self.datas:
    d.plotinfo.plot = False
self.data1.plotinfo.plot = True

    or all the data feeds except the first one

    @sfkiwi said in preventing labels for all data feeds showing when plotting:

    self.data1.plotinfo.plot = True

    That's not the first one, it is the second (arrays are 0 based)

    In any case, if it works for 6 data feeds it shall work for the rest. If a data feed has plotinfo.plot set to False, its name will not get added to the list of labels to be displayed. The code doesn't know if you added 6 or 1006 data feeds. The label will simply not be added (because the entire code that plots a data feed and its indicators will be skipped)

    In the plot above there are many labels for data feeds, which is an indication that the code was executed.
