Solved.
Backtrader is limited to less than 10000 lines. Very strange. Any idea how to extend this range?Well, at least in this script.

There is NO LIMIT in
backtrader. So that's simply a bold statement out of the blue. -
Just curious to know how did you solve it? I get the same error when I run it. My data is definitely shorter than 10000 lines (even though there is no such limit anyway).. I am also studying paris trading. What is the problem and solution ?
thanks

Without the actual data it is difficult to say, but an educated guess would hint that a change in the API return values of
sm.OLShas happened.The Pairs Trading Example was contributed by a user some time ago and just like
Pyfolio, those APIs keep changing. -
Right, I have searched the forum and saw you guys had a lot of discussion on this back in Dec, 2016 and made many changes along the way. I'll keep reading and researching, but is there a github depository or somewhere else where the latest working version of this example reside? That would save a lot of time.
thanks

There was only 1 version of this, which was committed and never touched again. It's the one you find in the sources.
