Exceptions
One of the design goals was to quit as early as possible and let the users have full transparency of what was happening with errors. With the goal to force oneself to have code that would break on exceptions and forced revisiting the affected part.
But the time has come and some exceptions may slowly get added to the platform.
Hierarchy
The base class for all exceptions is BacktraderError
(which is a direct
subclass of Exception
)
Location
-
Inside the module
errors
which can be reached as in for example:import backtrader as bt class Strategy(bt.Strategy): def __init__(self): if something_goes_wrong(): raise bt.errors.StrategySkipError
-
Directly from
backtrader
as in:import backtrader as bt class Strategy(bt.Strategy): def __init__(self): if something_goes_wrong(): raise bt.StrategySkipError
Exceptions
StrategySkipError
Requests the platform to skip this strategy for backtesting. To be raised
during the initialization (__init__
) phase of the instance
