    Not enough memory for the operations you want to make. I doubt that this is related to bt, you may want to google this error and check out what are the recommendations.

  • I encountered the exact same error. Any solutions here?

  • Okay so I solved this. This is due to the new version of matplotlib, which is 3.3.0 currently. I pip installed an older version which is 3.2.2, and the graph was printed out successfully.

    @TXY Thank you, I had this same problem and your method worked.

    anybody was able to solve it without installing older version of mathplotlib? maybe it should be an issue on backtrader.

    i have the newest version, and it crashes with the same error ("MemoryError: Unable to allocate 70.8 GiB") only when there was no buy/sell, for example if i don't add any strategy or the strategy did not create a buy/sell order.

    @RandomTrader88 Exactly this happened with me. I tried to run a strategy with no buy/sell signal and got this error.
