Envelope indicators are not available, can't pass params
-
Hello guys! I'm still quite a noob but I have some issues with backtrader, I already inspected some posts and I can see people easily using for example
emamean = bt.indicators.AdaptiveMovingAverageEnvelope(period=30, fast=1, slow=8, perc=0.2, plotname='mean')When I try to pass that it says "Cannot find reference AdaptiveMovingAverageEnvelope in init.py"
Even when I try to pass arguments to
sma1, sma2 = bt.indicators.MovingAverageSimple(period=10), bt.ind.SMA(period=30)It says that the period is an unexpected argument.
I have my whole backtesting environment ready but the indicator that I struggle with, I have data upload and the rest figured out. I have python 3.7.9 and the newest backtrader version on Pycharm 2020.2

I just found some topic about pycharm with backtrader.

Wouldn't recommend PyCharm although I use it myself.BackTrader is a bag of tricks with a hack on top and PyCharm's tools don't play well with that. Half of your code will be highlighted as problematic, autocomplete rarely works and you can't ask which parameters a function takes.
If I wasn't so used to PyCharm, I'd probably go with Sublime Text."
Does it mean I'm not retarded and I spent the last few days trying to figure it out where it's not my issue actually?

@MrKalindro said in Envelope indicators are not available, can't pass params:
When I try to pass that it says "Cannot find reference AdaptiveMovingAverageEnvelope in init.py"
Even when I try to pass arguments toNo issues with VS Code and plain python.

Yeah thanks @ab_trader it's Pycharm or other big IDE's thing. It's just notification errors, the script runs smoothly but the autofill doesn't work with many commands. Just gotta know that it's a thing and not worry about ugly prompts.
