Error: bt.stores.IBStore

  • T

    Please pardon this seemingly basic question - it has bugged me.

    for the codes in https://www.backtrader.com/docu/live/ib/ib.html:

    import backtrader as bt
ibstore = bt.stores.IBStore(host='127.0.0.1', port=7496, clientId=35)
data = ibstore.getdata(dataname='EUR.USD-CASH-IDEALPRO')

    I get the error:

    AttributeError Traceback (most recent call last)
    <ipython-input-14-083c713fef7e> in <module>()
    1 import backtrader as bt
    2
    ----> 3 ibstore = bt.stores.IBStore(host='127.0.0.1', port=7496, clientId=35)
    4 data = ibstore.getdata(dataname='EUR.USD-CASH-IDEALPRO')
    AttributeError: module 'backtrader.stores' has no attribute 'IBStore'

    I wonder why this error happened and how can I fix it?
    Seems like on https://github.com/mementum/backtrader/blob/master/backtrader/stores/ibstore.py
    The file path is backtrader/backtrader/stores/ibstore.py, rather than bt.stores.IBStore in caps?

    I would rather bet that ibpy is not installed. Just test it ...

    import ib
import backtrader as bt
...
