    Hello I 'm using "analyzer-annualreturn.py" that I have modified to use generic data .
    the problem is that I have a data of gold that doesn't have neither volume nor openinterest.

    *when I try to use the program I have the following error:

    C:\Users\bobwilson\Anaconda2\python.exe C:/Users/bobwilson/PycharmProjects/PYondaSMA/goldcross.py --plot

    Although not shown in your code snippet, the error trace indicates that a moving average (directly or over another indicator which makes use of it) is in play.

    Apparently the minimum data, as you already realized, was not enough for the batch calculation.

    In this case running with runonce=False would have also not generated the error (each calculation would have been on a step by step basis)
