@borutf You can get the current bar but using len(self)

Thanks.

This happens to every datetime??

I always use bt.feeds.PandasData , it can work on yfinance downloads as well.

@rapha It is possible that it is about the Python version change.

params = dict(
      target_n_positions=20
)

You could try by defining the params inside in a dict, as shown above.

When I run both the tuple and dict approaches work, but who knows. I run backtrader in a environment in 3.8, as I have found some troubles with the newer versions.

@goloap the thing that helped me was

notify_cashvalue = BaseStrategy.notify_cashvalue

you can do this for all the methods you want to inherit from the BaseStartegy class.

Hello,

I am very new to Backtrader, hence I have a pretty simple question.

I understand you use self.data.low[0] to get let's say the low value of the current iteration, as 0 is the index by which you access the current data.

But how do you the index of the current iteration? Let's say you are at the 100th example in the time-series. Where do you access this value?

Best Regards,
