I tried using the snippet of code from main page with a slight edit and I am getting errors...

''' from datetime import datetime
import backtrader as bt

class SmaCross(bt.SignalStrategy):
params = (('pfast', 10), ('pslow', 30),)
def init(self):
sma1, sma2 = bt.ind.SMA(period=self.p.pfast), bt.ind.SMA(period=self.p.pslow)
self.signal_add(bt.SIGNAL_LONG, bt.ind.CrossOver(sma1, sma2))

cerebro = bt.Cerebro()

data = bt.feeds.CCXT(exchange='coinbasepro', symbol='ETH/USD', ohlcv_limit=None,
                    fromdate=datetime(2019, 3, 1),
                    todate=datetime(2019, 3, 18))

#data = bt.feeds.YahooFinanceData(dataname='MSFT', fromdate=datetime(2011, 1, 1),
#                                todate=datetime(2012, 12, 31))
cerebro.adddata(data)

cerebro.addstrategy(SmaCross)
cerebro.run()
cerebro.plot()

Errors:

To many positional arguements for constuctor call pylint line 8,41
Unexpected keyword fromdate
Unexpected keyword todate
Undefined variable SMACross

Help the noob please!

Thanks.

@no1uknow Sigh can't edit post? Wanted to fix the code block.

Those aren't errors. That's pylint

Do you have any actual error?

As an idea - CCXT feed is not in the bt module. You might need to install and import it separately.
