I think I've been following examples with very simple code, whatever I do I can't get the times to chage along with the dates while iterating, it keeps the time at 23:59:59. I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong. The code is as follows:

class MyStrategy(bt.Strategy):
        def __init__(self):
            self.dataclose = self.datas[0].close
    
        def next(self):
            print(self.datas[0].datetime.date(0), self.datas[0].datetime.time(0))

cerebro = bt.Cerebro()


data = btfeeds.GenericCSVData(
    dataname='data.csv',

    dtformat=('%Y-%m-%d'),
    tmformat=('%H.%M.%S'),
    
    datetime=0,
    time=1,
    open=2,
    high=3,
    low=4,
    close=5,
    volume=6,
    openinterest=-1
)

cerebro.adddata(data)

cerebro.addstrategy(MyStrategy)

cerebro.run()

The output from printing the date and time looks as follows:

2010-03-22 23:59:59.999989
2010-03-22 23:59:59.999989
2010-03-22 23:59:59.999989
2010-03-22 23:59:59.999989
2010-03-22 23:59:59.999989
2010-03-22 23:59:59.999989

continuing all the way throughout. The csv file looks like this:

```
          date 	           time 	    open 	    high 	     low 	   close   ticks

0 2010-03-01 00.24.00 0.89887 0.89887 0.89886 0.89886 2
1 2010-03-01 00.25.00 0.89884 0.89888 0.89870 0.89881 20
2 2010-03-01 00.26.00 0.89878 0.89883 0.89878 0.89883 7
3 2010-03-01 00.27.00 0.89883 0.89883 0.89883 0.89883 1

Ah, thanks so much for that. Works perfectly

I just wanted a quick clarification on the meaning of having a drawdown of 0.xx %, based on the documentation. If i have a drawdown of 0.05, is this 5%, or 0.05%?

I just found it in the documentation now. It would be 0.1%

I'm trying to log my trades like in this example:

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

  def notify_trade(self, trade):
      if not trade.isclosed:
          return

      self.log('OPERATION PROFIT, GROSS %.2f, NET %.2f' %
               (trade.pnl, trade.pnlcomm))

The way I'm using these functions is like this:

class MyStrategy(bt.Strategy):
    def __init__(self):
         self.order = None

    def log(self, txt, dt=None):
            ''' Logging function fot this strategy'''
            dt = dt or self.datas[0].datetime.date(0)
            print('%s, %s' % (dt.isoformat(), txt))
    
    def notify_trade(self, trade):
        if not trade.isclosed:
            return
    
        self.log('OPERATION PROFIT, GROSS %.2f, NET %.2f' %
                 (trade.pnl, trade.pnlcomm))

    def next(self):
        self.order = self.sell(size=lots)
        self.notify_trade(self.order)

When I run it I get the error:

'AutoInfoClass_OrderBase_Order_SellOrder' object has no attribute 'isclosed'

When I just try to get the pnl it says the same thing, but about having no attribute 'pnl'.

I'm guessing there's something wrong with the way I'm saving the trade. Any advice would be much appreciated, thanks.

I'm finding that if I set the dates for the backtest past the dates that are actually available in my data it will eventually say index out of bounds, but before that it will continue for a couple months past the last available date. Along with the dates I'm printing some of the prices; sometimes the prices repeat and sometimes they don't. Some of the prices just aren't anywhere at my data. Has anyone come across this before or have any idea what might be happening?

I just found it in the documentation now. It would be 0.1%

If I set the commission as 0.001, (with Margin=False), and each time I buy $100,000 worth of the asset, does that mean each time I'm paying 0.001%, or $100 each time? or is 0.1%

I have been following examples, but whatever I do, the time won't change along with the date. My code looks as follows:

class MyStrategy(bt.Strategy):
        def __init__(self):
            self.dataclose = self.datas[0].close
    
        def next(self):
            print(self.datas[0].datetime.date(0), self.datas[0].datetime.time(0))

cerebro = bt.Cerebro()

data = btfeeds.GenericCSVData(
    dataname='data.csv',

    dtformat=('%Y-%m-%d'),
    tmformat=('%H.%M.%S'),
    
    datetime=0,
    time=1,
    open=2,
    high=3,
    low=4,
    close=5,
    volume=6,
    openinterest=-1
)

cerebro.adddata(data)

cerebro.addstrategy(MyStrategy)

cerebro.run()

The output looks as follows:

2010-03-22 23:59:59.999989
2010-03-22 23:59:59.999989

2010-03-22 23:59:59.999989
2010-03-22 23:59:59.999989

continuing like this all the way through. The csv file looks like this:

   date 	          time 	  open 	  high 	 low 	  close 	ticks

0 2010-03-01 00.24.00 0.89887 0.89887 0.89886 0.89886 2
