Backtrader bt.feeds.YahooFinanceData period='w' and 'm' not working
-
Does anyone know why
bt.feeds.YahooFinanceData(dataname='VTI', period='w', fromdate=datetime.datetime(2018,1,1), todate=datetime.datetime(2020,1,1))does not work? It return daily data instead.

Try this instead of period...
timeframe=bt.TimeFrame.Weeks,

timeframe=bt.TimeFrame.Weeks
Works perfectly. This syntax is quite different from what indicated in the docs though.

I could be wrong and maybe someone with more tenure can chime in, but I think yahoo stopped working for a while and the docs might be a bit out date. I dug this out of the code.
