For forex its alot easier coding with MT4 or MT5 libraries. Tho this tutorial is super useful for stocks! Thank you for your contributions!

[@aaron6190]

Thanks for another great video! I finally got backtrader setup properly, even got it running my own strategy on as many stocks as I want simultaneously which I wouldn't have been able to do without your previous backtrader videos to learn the library. Excited to see more videos with it!

A comment on 1:30 - (and maybe I should watch the rest before I comment, but maybe I'll forget, also...) Sometimes, it's good to separate the strategy from the symbol because there's no way to know for sure which way the symbol will go over time. Yes, AMD gained during the tested time, but if it fell, would you have lost as much in both cases? All in all, I'm just saying it helps to consider risk just as much as reward in evaluating a strategy... not saying it's a new idea, just wanted to kind of throw support behind it. As always - great channel! Please keep producing the great content!

[@MomentajInc]

Thank you for the amazing videos. I have a question, imagine you have a bracket BUY order with ProfitTaker and StopLoss with Interactive Brokers, and the parent order is filled, how do you know if ProfitTaker or StopLoss is done so in the next trade you should put BUY or SELL order?

[@ballyoracle]

awesome loved it

[@futurestadawul]

Hi Larry.. Thank you very much for the amazing content you are sharing with us.. I've learned backtrader framework from you 😊.. Now.. Trying to follow this tutorial on my pc (windows 10) I am struggling to import backtrader after installing IbPy2.. If you have any idea or link that could help, please sahre it with us..

[@barryhart7226]

Are you planning perhaps on showing how to live trade using backtrader with the crypto markets? Something perhaps with like the CCXT-BT library or Binance API? I'd greatly appreciate a video like that

[@FlisB]

how do you get it to run on Python 3? I always get an error from IBpy. The only thing I see that I have done differently is that I didn't use pipenv.

[@haoliu4206]

Same, seems that ibpy2 not supporting new client api with python3. The author of ibpy2 also said that this module is obsolete.

[@MasamuneX]

from backtrader_ib_insync import IBStore its a new ibstore written in python 3 code so it will work ive tested it myself

[@yuvalbra]

great content , please add the links (medium) you showen at the video

[@parttimelarry]

hey added to the description, good point

[@sitaramvedula4853]

I am NOT able to connect to IBKR from google colabs. But from my mac terminal i am able to do. What is the reason for not being able to connect to IBKR?

[@threeforhouse]

Can you add in a short Watchdog tutorial for one of your Interactive Brokers videos? I’m struggling with the concept and getting it deployed in my code

[@Yair-wj6ir]

Why use get data of ticks and resampling vs just get data of seconds or minutes?

[@jhalmu]

Great content, thanks. Btw how do you start your virtual enviroment automatically?

[@tokusukeutsugi4239]

Hi, Larry, Could you teach me how to set VS Code extension to enable it search liblary's(backtrader) source code?

[@jessojohn9226]

can i use datafeed from other sources and still execute using IB broker?

[@Scieoner]

sooo good man thanks for the great content, could you please do a video on graphing fundamental data from the interactive brokers api and developing startegies off of it (earnings beats or misses, P/E, etc) thank you so much

[@shivkumar-ik9rs]

Hi, can you help me in developing API in interactive brokers, stuck with some confusion

[@tokusukeutsugi4239]

Thank you for great video as always. Backtrader library looks no update for about 2 years, and I'm struggling dependency problem with other libraries. Do you have any good solution?

[@parttimelarry]

I think some members of the community have forked backtrader and made some updates, I would check on the forum there to see the latest

[@fofanacoree1507]

So we don't need to set our ibk api key configuration file to run program ?

[@fofanacoree1507]

@Part Time Larry Cool

[@flydr2]

Im trying to do this with Binance... Not easy... Any guides would be great

[@parttimelarry]

I just covered freqtrade which could be a good solution for you since it is specific to crypto and works with binance and ftx

[@flydr2]

@@parttimelarry Thanks I'll look at it now...

[@michaelsloth8266]

It's not fair to test Ross' open range strategy on AMD or other large cap stocks. The open range strategy are only on stocks that have gapped up in pre, have a high RVOL, have a catalyst and have low float. So testing the strategy on AMD will not work. Ross knows that...... and you can read it on the web page you show in the video.

[@alirezanaziri1356]

Open range breakout should work on just tickers in play (low float high volatile with gap up or gap down in pre-market); not Nasdaq 100 tickers.

[@user-vo7sv5np5f]

Can you please add these to Github so we can try. Thanks :)

[@peymanhj]

next() does not call at all

[@dylankogut5442]

Yep, this is wildly out of date

[@maciekpaciarski9343]

why a mcdonalds cap? you work there ??😯

[@specturo6588]

But you couldnt have know that AMD will perform that good. The ORB Strategy would have catched AMD and in fact would have probably catched any bullish stock like AMD.

[@ichimokatrader1198]

I just can't get mine working! I'm doing something wrong 😂

What's with that McDonald's hat? Are the trading strategies not working well?

And thanks for the videos.

[@STATechnologies]

Hi, I have the same problem :( have you maybe found a solution?

[@nicholasrice1748]

@@STATechnologies unfortunately not, maybe give a look at ikbr documentation to implement it directly

same problem in live account starting backtrader Server Version: 76 TWS Time at connection:20230420 10:41:10 It's stop, any idea to fix this?

[@Christopher_Tron]

Hey Larry, thanks for the content. Something I just found that you might like is a fed treasury api (us-federal-treasury-python-api). I found it on 'areed1192' GitHub, or sigma coding on yt. Hopefully this is of some use because your videos have helped me more than I could put in this comment. Keep up the great work man
