Thank you in advance for any help!
I'm trying to backtest a very simple moving average cross over strategy in Python. I'm using the Jupyter notebook.
I've installed and imported backtrader and matplotlib. However, I'm unable to plot anything and I can't figure out this bug :/
I'm a fairly successful trader but am new to python. Thank you for your help!
