    • Follow up with a solution

      I made a post in June - Re: cerebro.plot / matplot quality. It was low priority so I finally found a solution and though I would share it with others. Place the following code in the notebooks that you would like higher quality plots:

      %config InlineBackend.figure_format = 'svg'

      here are all the options ('png') is the default:
      ‘png’, ‘retina’, ‘jpeg’, ‘svg’, ‘pdf’

    • Is anyone successfully backtesting options with backtrader?

      I have been consider purchasing data and moving my current strategy testing away from QuantConnect to something local for greater speed and efficient use of computing resources. I have backtrader up and running, yet options seem like they would require a major work around, unless I am missing something.

      Thanks!

    • RE: cerebro.plot / matplot quality

      I tied both on two different mac machines, both running jupyter notebooks or just running the script.
      Thanks!

    • cerebro.plot / matplot quality

      How do I get the graphic from matplot lib to look as nice as printed on Visual Inspection: Plotting?. I even used the exact script in the docs and my plot looks like a bad 8 bit imitation.

      I tried seaborn, not sure what is missing.

    • RE: Is anyone successfully backtesting options with backtrader?

      Sorry for the general nature of my question. I have not built anything that complex in backtrader while in both Qantopian and QuantConnect I have, with some help. In QuantConnect I am able to use the built in function OptionChainProvider and AddOptionContract, then us a custom function filter the contracts. I just don't see anything prebuilt in backtrader so I did not know if there was a "easy" system / way that the community was using it to test and trade options.

      I have been bumping into the python speed issues but did not realize it had to do with the language itself. Interesting to learn.

      Thanks!
