Re: Anyone use backtrader to do live trading on Bitcoin exchange?
First, thanks a lot @Ed-Bartosh and backtraders fellows!
My strategy need to send a signal before a candle (1 minute) being closed. I forked the @Ed-Bartosh (branch ccxt) and I'm feeding with bitmex exchange makert (using ccxt).
I'm new backtrader I noticed that the minimum GRANULARITY is to fetch on OHLC are minutes. But supposing the I need to get live data before the 1m candle being closed to send a signal. Is possible?
I need the historical (15 M) data too. So i will need to feeds: historical and live. So someone can help me? Or share some insight about that?

There is NOT such a limitation in backtrader. If a given data provieder attached to backtrader doesn't support a smaller granularity it's another story.

You are looking for
replaydata. See:This allows you see how a
1-minutereplayed data is constructed (tick-by-tick) from a smaller timeframe. But your data feed@dedeco said in Is possible send a signal before a candle (1 minute) being closed feeding backtrader with tikcs?:

You need to combine it with resampled data which will only tick once for each 15 minutes timeframe.
