@ab_trader Looks like the "if" was the problem. Didn't realize I had to use bt.If in init(). Used lineNum too but not sure if I had to, I'll just leave it though. Thanks!

if you would truly do what i've recommend above (print and plot all data and look thru it bar by bar) you would see two notifications of sell orders much earlier. and (probably) only one notification of the buy order.

anyway, since you have very light understanding of the basic things (buy nd sell), i would recommend you to read docs and maybe do quickstart one more time (or even first time). will save you time later.

If you are using Jupyter, then this limits the CPU usage.
Otherwise the package you are using might be limiting its multicore capabilities (i.e. optunity is as far as I know doing that)

Nevermind I figured it out. I wanted to do line[-5] as the value because this would fit the offsetting problem but it always gives errors, but I just had to basically skip the beginning of the line (where line[-5] didn't exist yet) and that fixed it. Sorry idk how I didn't figure this out last night guess I was just burned out. So yeah if anyone comes across this problem just basically do:

and if you have a situation like mine, I had to use the pivot period so it was like above but had to convert the period to Int
