I get an error when running the code: AttributeError: 'Plot_OldSync' object has no attribute 'mpyplot' about alpaca-backtrader-api HOT 9 CLOSED

try the new version and let me know if you still get this error: https://github.com/alpacahq/alpaca-backtrader-api/releases/tag/v0.8.0

from alpaca-backtrader-api.

Thanks - I'm a bit of a noobie with this stuff - should I being installing this new API in the terminal? I'm still getting the same error if I am just replacing

store = alpaca_backtrader_api.AlpacaStore(
    key_id=ALPACA_API_KEY,
    secret_key=ALPACA_SECRET_KEY,
    paper=False,
    usePolygon=False
)

with:
alpaca_backtrader_api.AlpacaStore(
key_id=ALPACA_API_KEY,
secret_key=ALPACA_SECRET_KEY,
paper=True,
usePolygon=True
)

from alpaca-backtrader-api.

yes, just make sure you install it like this: pip install git+https://github.com/alpacahq/[email protected]

from alpaca-backtrader-api.

Thanks, moving along....I'm in Spyder 4.0.1 if that may be an issue...

I currently get this error:
TypeError: init() got an unexpected keyword argument 'usePolygon'

Any suggestions?

Here is my current .py...replaced the keys

import alpaca_backtrader_api
import backtrader as bt
from datetime import datetime

ALPACA_API_KEY = xx'
ALPACA_SECRET_KEY = 'xx'
ALPACA_PAPER = False

sma1, sma2 = bt.ind.SMA(period=10), bt.ind.SMA(period=30)
crossover = bt.ind.CrossOver(sma1, sma2)
self.signal_add(bt.SIGNAL_LONG, crossover)

if name == 'main':
cerebro = bt.Cerebro()
cerebro.addstrategy(SmaCross)

store = alpaca_backtrader_api.AlpacaStore(
    key_id=ALPACA_API_KEY,
    secret_key=ALPACA_SECRET_KEY,
    paper=True,
    usePolygon=True
)

DataFactory = store.getdata  # or use alpaca_backtrader_api.AlpacaData
if ALPACA_PAPER:
    data0 = DataFactory(dataname='AAPL',
                        historical=False,
                        timeframe=bt.TimeFrame.Days)
    cerebro.adddata(data0)
    # or just alpaca_backtrader_api.AlpacaBroker()
    broker = store.getbroker()
    cerebro.setbroker(broker)
else:
    data0 = DataFactory(dataname='AAPL', historical=True, fromdate=datetime(
        2015, 1, 1), timeframe=bt.TimeFrame.Days)
cerebro.adddata(data0)

print('Starting Portfolio Value: {}'.format(cerebro.broker.getvalue()))
cerebro.run()
print('Final Portfolio Value: {}'.format(cerebro.broker.getvalue()))
cerebro.plot()

can you do a pip freeze and add your packages version?
