@run-out yes indeed, when the stdev is small, which means that the three MAs are very close, which could be a good buy point or breakup point. I am testing my theory. and thanks for the help with the codes, chief. =)

this is what I have for now, which is working fine outside of btr system. I have to be honest that I am pretty shady with class writing.

    def __init__(self):
        # Keep a reference to the "close" line in the data[0] dataseries
        self.dataclose = self.datas[0].close
        # To keep track of pending orders
        self.order = None
        self.buyprice = None
        self.buycomm = None

        # Add a MovingAverageSimple indicator
        self.sma5 = bt.talib.SMA(self.datas[0], timeperiod=self.p.ma5period)
        self.sma20 = bt.talib.SMA(self.datas[0], timeperiod=self.p.ma20period)
        self.sma60 = bt.talib.SMA(self.datas[0], timeperiod=self.p.ma60period)

        self.stdev = stats.pstdev((self.sma5, self.sma20, self.sma60))

        self.MACDhisto = bt.indicators.MACDHisto(self.datas[0])

would anyone please give me a direction on this? much appreciated!

@run-out ok, the codes I presented is just a practice work. Im trying to get to know BTr and get a hold of it. here is what im trying to deal with. Im trying to set up a way to find MA combo pattern, and then run all 3555 csv files to match the pattern, then trigger trades. This is the reason why i have 3555 csv files on my HDD. =D

it runs separately, one by one each.

I am new here, just wondering if i could do such performance with backtrader.
I have 3555 good csv files laying there.

here is my codes:

I know it looks hilarious, plz give me hint where I should be heading. lolz

@backtrader thanks chief, I made the same insane mistake lolz. changed to "backtrader_initiation", problem solved.
