How to Pick From Several Stocks?
-
Hi,
I am new at Backtrader and would like to use it in the following way:
I have several stocks I can pick from.
I would like to pick (buy and later sell) some of these stocks whenever my strategy forsees this.How can I supply several stocks within Backtrader and how can I tell Backtrader only to buy / sell these stocks I would like to?
In the examples I can only see something like: self.buy()
Is there any example that does something similar?
Thanks in advance!

Which blog post do you mean?

Operating on the stock you want is as simple as
self.buy(data=my_target_data)
