            You do not have a return in GetHistoricalData so it is sending None to adddata(). Maybe you need to return the dataframe? if not specify your intent.

            How to make a Dockerfile and run it for multiple Python files?
            Asked 2022-Jan-23 at 18:40

            So, I'm new to Docker. I want to use Ta-Lib and freqtrade libraries for a bot I want to build. The problem is that I don't want to build the Dockerfile over and over again. I have been copying my python code in the Dockerfile as shown below but as soon as I change the python code, I have to rebuild the Dockerfile because I changed the copied python script. Each build takes over 10 minutes to complete and this makes my life very difficult to test the bot. Is there a way that I build the Dockerfile with all the dependencies and requirements first and then simply run my script using the image made? So that I don't have to rebuild the entire thing just after adding one line of code? The Dockerfile is as shown below

            I'm not that familiar with backtrader so i took an example from their documentation on how to create a plot. The data used in the plot can be downloaded from their github repository.

            The solution contains the following steps:

            1. make sure we use a matplotlib backend that doesn't display the plots to the user because we want to display it in the Streamlit app and the plot() function of backtrader displays the plot. this can be done using:

            Does someone know if it's possible to open multiple positions with only a single data feed? I am trying to do a second buy whilst in a position, which doesn't seem to be possible.

            Nobody seems to adress this issue. Does anyone have any experience with Backtrader and have any input?

            Answered 2021-Nov-04 at 10:24

            If you are just trying to buy more stock to add to your position, then yes, you should be able to do this and if you cannot recheck your strategy code in next.

            If you are trying to track two separate positions of the same data...

            One cannot have two separate positions in the same data feed. You may trade additional positions if you like but they will be combined in Backtrader. Even if you use two strategies you will still have one combined broker.

            The reason for this is to simulate as near as possible real world conditions. If you have a brokerage account you most likely would have just one postion. (I know there are exceptions)

            One solution would be to track your trading manually in a dictionary trades that result from different signals/sub-strategies. It's a bit more tedious to develop but very doable.

            My idea is to track crude oil commodity prices and trade an ETF based on the movements of Oil.

            Logic is:

            • If price crosses SMA100 upwards trending for Oil, buy ETF
            • If price crosses SMA100 downwards trending for oil, sell ETF

            You need to handle your analyzer a bit differently. You can literally grab data at every bar and then have it available to you at the end.
