I could not get optstrategy to work

so I put the cerebro calls inside of a loop that varies the parameters I send to the
addstrategy call.

OK, dunno what I'm missing on this. It seems I am unclear on how to "fix" the collections.iterable problem.

I put in

from collections.abc import Callable, Iterable

and nothing changed. Python 3.1 and latest backtrader

and all of this still comes our screaming in RED at me.

File "C:/Users/cawort01/AppData/Local/Programs/Python/Python310/BT-Rookie_A.py", line 31, in <module>
cerebro.optstrategy(firstStrategy, period=range(14,21))
File "C:\Users\cawort01\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python310\lib\site-packages\backtrader\cerebro.py", line 895, in optstrategy
vals = self.iterize(kwargs.values())
File "C:\Users\cawort01\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python310\lib\site-packages\backtrader\cerebro.py", line 335, in iterize
elif not isinstance(elem, collections.Iterable):
AttributeError: module 'collections' has no attribute 'Iterable'

what the hell am I misunderstanding??

Hello, I stumbled across backtader after creating a whole lot of PYTHON UDF's for Excel with XLWINGS (awesome library btw)

thinking I was spiffy, I thought I'd use my existing code to create a dataframe to pass to Cerebro and use the already calculated indicators at my disposal. I didn't get it to work. so I just "rebuilt" the indicators in BT's INIT

i am really really new to BackTrader. thinking starting last friday.

This guy seems to have done it. his trading logic was off, but I think he has done what you're trying to do. I think the key is to structure the data so that Cerebro "knows" where to look for the values it is trying to work with.

Good Luck. this is an astounding package. considering I used to do all of this years ago in C and C++ before TALIB existed.
