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:

• Docs - Cerebro
• Docs - Data Replay

This allows you see how a 1-minute replayed data is constructed (tick-by-tick) from a smaller timeframe. But your data feed

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