Buy/sell and P&L indicators plotted incorrectly

genkisushijai

Hi all.

I am running a backtest strategy on 2 data feeds in Cerebro, and have the following problems.

In the 2 data feed version, the default Buy/Sell indicators (i.e. the ones in stdstats) are NOT in the correct location, i.e. indicators are NOT on the price line. They are in right location for 1 data feed version.
In the 2 data feed version, the P&L dots are all blue (regardless if profit, or loss), whereas with 1 data feed, P&L dots are blue (if profit) and red (if loss)..
There are new dark green, downward-facing triangles in the 2 data feed version.

2 data feed version:

1 data feed version:

Here is the relevant portions of my code. How could I fix these 3 issues? Thanks!!

it was number of topics on the forum with this issue. i can advice to play with barplot and bardist parameters Docs - Observers Refs- BuySell

in case of several data feeds the color means the data feed, but not profit or loss. Blue markers are markers for 1st data feed.

this is second data feed markers

Thanks for the response.

I have tried changing the barplot and bardist to different values (ex: barplot = False, bardist = 0.00, etc). Changing barplot and bardist doesn't fix my problem though (the Buy/Sell indicators are still in the wrong location for 2 data feed version).

Do you know any other ways to fix this issue?

Not sure what you mean (what markers do those dark green triangles represent?), can you pls clarify?

Blue markers represent profits/losses for trades made on the 1st data feed, green markers represent profits/losses for trades made on the 2nd data feed. Markers located above zero line represent profits, markers located below zero line represent losses. Hope it is clear this time.

@ab_trader Thanks ab_trader.

Does anyone else know how to fix the Buy/Sell indicators in incorrect position, in the 2 data feed scenario?

genkisushijai

@backtrader any advice you may have?

Hi, thanks for the suggestion. I tried this but same result, the Buy/Sell indicators are in incorrect position in 2 data feed scenario

Any other potential fixes?

ab_trader

Try oldbuysell=True with cerebro. According to docs -

If stdstats is True and observers are getting automatically added, this switch controls the main behavior of the BuySell observer

False: use the modern behavior in which the buy / sell signals are plotted below / above the low / high prices respectively to avoid cluttering the plot

True: use the deprecated behavior in which the buy / sell signals are plotted where the average price of the order executions for the given moment in time is. This will of course be on top of an OHLC bar or on a Line on Cloe bar, difficulting the recognition of the plot.

@ab_trader Hey I tried this as well, but no luck... any other advice you may have? thanks again :)

genkisushijai

@backtrader wondering if you had any advice as well? thanks!

@derrick-karimi Same issue here, anyone found a solution?
It seems that the dates for the trades are wrong when they are plotted. They are not wrong when printed from the strategy, so maybe something is wrong date-related in the trade- or buysell-observer?
