Fetch existing positions from Oanda into backrader
-
Hi
I am looking at using backtrader to automate live trading using Oanda as my preferred broker. Ideally I would like to fetch my existing positions from my Oanda account [both manually created positions and those created via backtrader into my Bt strategy - I have no issue using Backtrader with Oanda if I avoid closing or cancelling existing orders manually, directly on Oanda. I was looking at enhancing the notify_store function to handle this scenario - Is this the right approach ? Has anyone in the community tried to achieve something along the same lines? Any help appreciated. -
you can set
use_positions=Truewhile initiating the broker which will fetch positions from your account. its the default behaviour for default Oanda implementation available along with BT as well as for Oanda v20 store. -
