Where find and put the data ?

  • S

    Hi, at all, i'm new with backtrader and following the quickstart of the official page i've copied and paste some line of codes to try to understand how backtrader works. I'm not a programmer but i want to improve myself and learn. my problem i think for that i've understand is that it doesn't find the data. But i don't understand where i've to put the data. I've searched on internet and i've found another guy that has been the same problem (https://community.backtrader.com/topic/951/cannot-find-file-orcl-1995-2014-txt-from-the-quickstart-tutorial/4) but i didn't understand. I'll put below the output. Can somebody help me?
