hi. I've been able to pull data with various frequencies directly from Yahoo Finance (1h, 15m etc.), but not directly within backtrader (bt.feeds). Would you happen to know how to do it from backtrader?

I keep getting the error: FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'BTC-USD'
i believe this is due to backtrader not being able to get the yahoofinancedata, but i do not know how to fix it. Also, when I try to use my own pandas dataframe for the data I get: AttributeError: 'str' object has no attribute 'to_pydatetime.' Edit: I figured it out, check my reply

I like al your videos chad.. can also demonstrate backtesting video for intraday trading

Do you have any tutorial for intra day testing?

Does this work with intraday data and day-trading, meaning that all positions must be closed by the end of trading day (about 4 pm)?

I see a equity curve change on mine but i don't see buy/sell signals or any plots on the Positive/Negative trades section. Why?

Is there any way that I can output the graphs onto an html page?

Thanks Chad, a clean, simple example well explained. One question, with bt.feeds.YahooFinanceData, how can I turn it into a pandas DataFrame?

Excellent tutorial Chad! But I wanted to ask... The new zipline trader Vs Backtrader and why. I'm stuck please tell me which one to go for.

Anyone.c

You mention your course at the end of the video but I'm not seeing a link in the description..?

LFTRSV
