      If I understand the .replaydata() concept correctly, I should expect to see the value of the timeframe that we are replaying at in the datas value.

      Here is what I am seeing: (I've placed the # in front of the Day timeframe values)

      Printing the above with the following code:

              txtfields = list()
        txtfields.append(self.datas[1].datetime.datetime(tz=CST).strftime("%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S"))
        txtfields.append(self.datas[1]._name)
        txtfields.append('%.2f' % self.datas[1].open[0])
        txtfields.append('%.2f' % self.datas[1].high[0])
        txtfields.append('%.2f' % self.datas[1].low[0])
        txtfields.append('%.2f' % self.datas[1].close[0])
        txtfields.append('%.3f' % self.sma[0])
        print('\t'.join(txtfields))

      I'm creating the feeds as so:

          staticdata0path = os.path.join(modpath, '../../datas/SPY-yahoo.csv')
    staticdata0 = btfeeds.YahooFinanceCSVData(dataname=staticdata0path)

    # QQQ Live Data
    data0 = ibstore.getdata(dataname='QQQ-STK-SMART-USD',
                            timeframe=bt.TimeFrame.Minutes, compression=1,
                            sessionstart=dt.time(9,30), sessionend=dt.time(16, 0))
    cerebro.replaydata(data0, name='QQQ-minutes', timeframe=bt.TimeFrame.Minutes, compression=1)

    # SPY Live Data
    data1 = ibstore.getdata(dataname='SPY-STK-SMART-USD', backfill_from=staticdata0,
                            timeframe=bt.TimeFrame.Days, compression=1,
                            sessionstart=dt.time(9,30), sessionend=dt.time(16, 0))
    cerebro.replaydata(data1, name='SPY-daily', timeframe=bt.TimeFrame.Days, compression=1)

      The value at 18:00 appears to be previous day's close.
      The other values are value of every tick.

      How do I get the calculated value for the day for SPY in this example? For both the indicators that are using it as well as the feed value in Daily timeframe?

        replaydata will give you a bar in the sought timeframe / compression pair with multiple ticks. And that means:

        • The len of the data feed doesn't change as long as the next timeframe / compression boundary has been reached.

        • With each tick, the timestamp will be udpated to that of the last tick

        • With each tick, there will a call to next to let you process the tick.

        The above log has some surprising things.

        The same daily bar is delivered 4 times in a row with absolutely no change in timestamp, price values or indicator values.

        You already said you placed a # before daily values. Do these lines appear in between the bars with the updated ticks?

        Note: Not that you should know it, but here the most important information would be the len the different objects playing a role here. For example:

        • len(self) for the strategy
        • len(self.data0) for the QQQ
          and last but not least:
        • len(self.data1) for the SPY

        Also: What is the last date in the SPY static data source?

          The output comes just as it appears with exception that I snipped out some repeated bits with '...'

          I provide the script below to recreate this. It is as simple as I can get it I believe. The last date in the static source file is 2017-01-06. Perhaps that is the problem? I'll try it with full update as well. It was generated from yahoo with your utils script so should be easy to recreate.

            No. It simply seems that the problems you seem to be able to trigger have backfill_from in common.

              Agreed. FWIW, I saw this same behavior in the more complex system I am working on, so this is just my attempt to recreate it. I know that system is always run with backfill data current through previous day of trading.

                I've made a small change to the script in an attempt to get a bit more visibility. While I am not seeing the same interleaving of values (the market is pretty slow right now), I do show exactly what data I am seeing and have a complete print of what happens. I've updated the script above to include this change and am displaying the change to cerebro.next() below.

                Here is a link to the output: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/4390007/backfill-log-SPY-QQQ.zip
