Hello,

Does anyone have an example of getting forex data from Quandl? I've tried getting the data with 'CUR/EUR' as the dataset and I get:

File "C:\Users\dx\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python35-32\lib\site-packages
backtrader\feed.py", line 692, in preload
self.f.close()
AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'close'

I pass the data with:

data = bt.feeds.Quandl(
dataname=args.instrument,
apikey='MYKEY,
fromdate = fd,
todate = td,
buffered= True
)

It works with stocks--any ideas?

Thanks!

Hi, i did not check the following so it may be wrong, but it seems, the symbol is not available completely on quandl. i looked for the data here:

https://www.quandl.com/api/v3/datasets/CUR/EUR.json?api_key=xxx

the data only has a close price, no other data available. backtrader will look for ohlc values i believe. There was a few months also some questions about quandl here in this forum with similar issues.
