I just realized that I only created an indicator, but no strategy and they are two totally different things lol. All clear
For code/output blocks: Use ``` (aka backtick or grave accent) in a single line before and after the block. See: http://commonmark.org/help/

RE: Custom indicator, how datas work in initposted in Indicators/Strategies/Analyzers
Wow, it's really difficult for me to understand...
I tried a different test. This is the indicator's code:
class hasGrown(bt.Indicator): lines = ('hasgrown',) # output line (array) def __init__(self): self.lines.hasgrown = self.data(0) > self.data(-1)and this is the strategy:
class buyifgrewStrategy(bt.Strategy): def __init__(self): print("Starting strategy") self.hasgrown = hasGrown() def next(self): if self.hasgrown: if not self.position: calculateSize(self) self.buy(self.data,size=self.size) print("Buying") else: if self.position: self.close(self.data) print("Selling") log(self,f"Today: {self.data.close[0]}. Yesterday: {self.data.close[-1]}")So, in the indicator I'm checking whether the stock has price has grown yesterday (and if so I buy). If it has decreased I sell.
The code apperently works, but I don't understand why.
What am I comparing here? (open prices? close prices? all of them?)
self.lines.hasgrown = self.data(0) > self.data(-1)The print output:
... 2021-02-16, Today: 133.19. Yesterday: 135.37 2021-02-17, Today: 130.84. Yesterday: 133.19 2021-02-18, Today: 129.71. Yesterday: 130.84 Buying 2021-02-19, Today: 129.87.

Custom indicator, how datas work in initposted in Indicators/Strategies/Analyzers
Hi,
I'm trying to understand how to build a custom indicator. Let's see this one:
import backtrader as bt class DummyDifferenceDivider(bt.Indicator): lines = ('diffdiv',) # output line (array) params = ( ('period', 1), # distance to previous data point ('divfactor', 2.0), # factor to use for the division ) def __init__(self): diff = self.data(0) - self.data(-self.p.period) diffdiv = diff / self.p.divfactor self.lines.diffdiv = diffdiv(source: https://medium.com/@danjrod/custom-indicator-development-in-python-with-backtrader-bc775552dc3e by Daniel Rodriguez)
What does this line do?
diff = self.data(0) - self.data(-self.p.period)Daniel writes it should be self-explanatory, but i don't understand it.
It seems to me that he's subtracting two datafeeds (but this is impossible as I tried to run the code with only one datafeed and it runs). At first, I thought that it was subtracting the closing value of today and today-period, but I don't understand why it's not written as:
diff = self.datas[0].close[0] - self.datas[0].close[-self.p.period]Thanks for any insights...

AttributeError: 'Lines_LineSeries_LineIterator_DataAccessor_Indicat' object has no attribute '_addobserver'posted in Indicators/Strategies/Analyzers
Hi, I'm learning to make a new indicator.
I've been following these two pages:
When I paste the code, I get the same error message:
AttributeError: 'Lines_LineSeries_LineIterator_DataAccessor_Indicat' object has no attribute '_addobserver'What is the problem?
This is my full code:

Multiple datafeeds with different start datesposted in General Discussion
This is a topic that has been widely discussed but I haven't seen a straightforward answer on how to work with multiple that have different start dates.
The major challenges are:
- How to pass an indicator to multiple data
- How to start a strategy even if some of the datafeeds haven't started yet (for instance, in the case of IPOs)
- How to handle the datafeeds that have the right timeframe
This is the code I came up with. It's really unclear, but I hope it can be useful for others as I struggled with this a lot. If anyone has recommendations on how to improve it, you are more than welcome!

RE: Similar to Exponential Moving Averageposted in Indicators/Strategies/Analyzers
Hi!
Could you check this link:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1WRUfJC3VWcxCKAlXdaYAjszViJkFx__q36GKveJjEAU/edit?usp=sharingI'm looking for an indicator for what I called "Geometric average daily increase" (probably it's not the right name).
I wrote a formula that creates weights so that the most recent weight is 1 and they are halved every X days (in this case every 30 days). The last weight comes after Y days (in this case 493)
Also I take the prices of the last 494 days and do the following (basically I multiply together 493 weighted daily increases):
product((price today/price yesterday)^today's weight)Finally, the 493 weights are summed all together and they root the total product above.
Any idea, whether there exists anything similar?

Similar to Exponential Moving Averageposted in Indicators/Strategies/Analyzers
Hi,
I'm looking for the name of an indicator but I don't know whether it exists.
It should be similar to Exponential Moving Average but it divides the price at each day by the stock's cost on that day. In this way, it's possible to compare the average of different stocks and see which one has grown most in the recent past.

RE: Changing tickets orders leads to different resultsposted in General Discussion
I appreciate that you are taking the time to reply each time, but I feel you are underestimating how much effort I'm putting in to try to make this code run. It's been a week that I have been going through the documentation and if I wrote to this forum it's because I have no idea of how to make it run. Yes, I understand it doesn't close orders. And how to make them close? I've been trying both with sell and close orders, changing the piece of code, nothing helps.

RE: Changing tickets orders leads to different resultsposted in General Discussion
These are some trials.
I tried to print the value of the stocks in my portfolio:
