Bit late here but would like to know how it got solved for you.

I qualify both the above conditions but still I am not getting historical data.

My code is as below :

from _datetime import datetime
import backtrader as bt

# Create a Stratey
class TestStrategy(bt.Strategy):

    def log(self, txt, dt=None):
        ''' Logging function for this strategy'''
        dt = dt or self.datas[0].datetime.date(0)
        print('%s, %s' % (dt.isoformat(), txt))

    def __init__(self):
        # Keep a reference to the "close" line in the data[0] dataseries
        self.dataclose = self.datas[0].close

    def next(self):
        # Simply log the closing price of the series from the reference
        self.log('Close, %.2f' % self.dataclose[0])


if __name__ == '__main__':
    # Create a cerebro entity
    cerebro = bt.Cerebro()

    ibstore = bt.stores.IBStore(host='127.0.0.1', port=7497, clientId=777)
    #ibstore = bt.stores.IBStore(host='127.0.0.1', port=4002, clientId=6666666)
    data = ibstore.getdata(dataname="ITC-STK-SMART-IND", historical=True, fromdate=datetime(2019, 1, 1), todate=datetime(2019, 8, 1), timeframe=bt.TimeFrame.Minutes, compression=5)

    cerebro.adddata(data)

    cerebro.addstrategy(TestStrategy)

    cerebro.broker.setcash(100000.0)

    # Print out the starting conditions
    print('Starting Portfolio Value: %.2f' % cerebro.broker.getvalue())

    # Run over everything
    cerebro.run()

    # Print out the final result
    print('Final Portfolio Value: %.2f' % cerebro.broker.getvalue())

Getting below output without data :

Starting Portfolio Value: 100000.00
Final Portfolio Value: 100000.00

Please advise

@kriku I am trying to replicate the same scenario for Indian stock . I have a paper account with IB.

from _datetime import datetime
import backtrader as bt

# Create a Stratey
class TestStrategy(bt.Strategy):

    def log(self, txt, dt=None):
        ''' Logging function for this strategy'''
        dt = dt or self.datas[0].datetime.date(0)
        print('%s, %s' % (dt.isoformat(), txt))

    def __init__(self):
        # Keep a reference to the "close" line in the data[0] dataseries
        self.dataclose = self.datas[0].close

    def next(self):
        # Simply log the closing price of the series from the reference
        self.log('Close, %.2f' % self.dataclose[0])


if __name__ == '__main__':
    # Create a cerebro entity
    cerebro = bt.Cerebro()

    ibstore = bt.stores.IBStore(host='127.0.0.1', port=4002, clientId=7777777)
    #ibstore = bt.stores.IBStore(host='127.0.0.1', port=4002, clientId=6666666)
    data = ibstore.getdata(dataname="RELIANCE-STK-SMART-IND", historical=True, fromdate=datetime(2019, 1, 1), todate=datetime(2019, 8, 1), timeframe=bt.TimeFrame.Minutes, compression=5)

    cerebro.adddata(data)

    cerebro.addstrategy(TestStrategy)

    cerebro.broker.setcash(100000.0)

    # Print out the starting conditions
    print('Starting Portfolio Value: %.2f' % cerebro.broker.getvalue())

    # Run over everything
    cerebro.run()

    # Print out the final result
    print('Final Portfolio Value: %.2f' % cerebro.broker.getvalue())

But this is not giving me any data. Getting below output :

Starting Portfolio Value: 100000.00
Final Portfolio Value: 100000.00

I have the permission enabled in IB to share the live account data with paper account. Am i missing something ?
