OptReturn is a simplified return instance which mimics a strategy, to reduce the overhead of message passing from worker processes to the main process.

Plotting has never been tested with optimization (not an expected use case)

Hi @backtrader,

Is it possible to get bid/ask lines in an Oanda datasource, similarly to what you've described in your "Escape from OHLC land" post? That would also solve the spread problem because that way calculating the spread would be super easy.
As I can see there is an option ("bidask") that controls what is retrieved from Oanda, so I believe it is already partially implemented.

Would it be possible to add the bid/ask lines to the data if the timeframe is set to bt.TimeFrame.Ticks?

Cheers,
Tamás

You could always do:

No further calculations will run after return

The original poster asked how to stop during the calculations and not during instantiation (__init__). To do so see:

Thanks for the info. I forgot to mention that I plan to do intraday trading.

Cheers,
