Bug: can't get attribute on lineseries.

  • D

    If I use optstrategy and use more than one adddata, then I get this exception:

    Exception in thread Thread-3:

    If I change either of the above things (either add only one data or use addstrategy), I don't get this error.

    Here's my code:

    from __future__ import (absolute_import, division, print_function, unicode_literals)

import backtrader as bt

from strategies.sma_crossover import SMA_CrossOver
from strategies.strategy_container import StrategyContainer
from api import crypto_data

data_spec = [
        {"symbol": "BTC/USD", "exchange": "CCCAGG", "res": "day", "length": 365},
        {"symbol": "ETH/USD", "exchange": "CCCAGG", "res": "day", "length": 365},
]

StrategyContainer.register(SMA_CrossOver)

# cerebro
cerebro = bt.Cerebro()
cerebro.broker.setcash(100000.0)
cerebro.broker.setcommission(commission=0.001)
cerebro.addanalyzer(bt.analyzers.PyFolio)
cerebro.optstrategy(StrategyContainer, strategy_index=StrategyContainer.indices())

# data
for d in data_spec:
    data = crypto_data.get_feed(d["symbol"], exchange=d["exchange"], resolution=d["res"], length=d["length"])
    cerebro.adddata(data, name=d["symbol"])
results = cerebro.run()

    What could be the reason for this?

    Where is the bug?

    Yes, that's what I'm asking.

    It might be in backtrader or more likely in my code. Any ideas?

    I get the same problem if I switch optreturn of Cerebro from the default of True to False.

    I simplified the example so it's really easy to read and follows most of the conventions that the Backtrader's samples also take.

    Here's the simplified code with the same problems as above. Why does this happen?

    from __future__ import (absolute_import, division, print_function, unicode_literals)

import datetime

import backtrader as bt
import backtrader.feeds as btfeeds
import backtrader.indicators as btind


def run():
    cerebro = bt.Cerebro(optreturn=False)
    StrategyContainer.register(SMA_CrossOver)
    cerebro.optstrategy(StrategyContainer, strategy_index=StrategyContainer.indices())

    data0 = btfeeds.YahooFinanceCSVData(dataname='../../datas/daily-PEP.csv', fromdate=datetime.datetime(1997, 1, 1), todate=datetime.datetime(1998, 1, 1))
    cerebro.adddata(data0)
    cerebro.adddata(data0)

    # run
    results = cerebro.run()


class StrategyContainer(object):
    _strategies = []
    @classmethod
    def register(cls, strategy):
        cls._strategies.append(strategy)
    @classmethod
    def indices(cls):
        return range(len(cls._strategies))
    def __new__(cls, *args, **kwargs):
        strategy_index = kwargs.pop('strategy_index')
        obj = cls._strategies[strategy_index](*args, **kwargs)
        return obj


class SMA_CrossOver(bt.Strategy):
    pass
