Keep receiving the same error code, help!

Hi Victoria,

Here is some help:

class RetrospectiveMagentaAlbatross(QCAlgorithm):

   def Initialize(self):
       self.SetStartDate(2017, 8, 24)  
       self.SetCash(100000)
       #self.AddCrypto("BTCBUSD", Resolution.Minute, Market.Binance)
       self.SetBrokerageModel(BrokerageName.Binance, AccountType.Margin)
       
       self.rsi = self.RSI("BTCBUSD", 14, MovingAverageType.Simple)
       # Do not call self.AddCrypto twice with the same resolution. Even with different ones, it gets tricky.
       # I am commenting out the first call to keep the assignment here.
       self.btcbusd = self.AddCrypto("BTCBUSD", Resolution.Minute, Market.Binance)
       


   def OnData(self, data):
       
       
# it is IsReady
       #if not self.rsi is ready:
       if not self.rsi.IsReady:
           return
       
       profitTargetPercent = 1.01
       stopLossPercent = 0.997
       
       
       if self.rsi.Current.Value > 72:
           self.SetHoldings(self.btcbusd, 0.1)
           
       
       marketOrderTicket = self.StopMarketOrder(self.btcbusd, -1.0, stopLossPercent)
       limitOrderTicket = self.LimitOrder(self.btcbusd, -1.0, profitTargetPercent)

I did not test it but it should run.

Hmm, I tried running the updated code, but I am still receiving the same error codes. 

Oh yes, the stop market order… Sorry. Forgot the .Symbol part.

Here:

class RetrospectiveMagentaAlbatross(QCAlgorithm):

    def Initialize(self):
        self.SetStartDate(2017, 8, 24)  
        self.SetCash(100000)
        self.btcbusd = self.AddCrypto("BTCBUSD", Resolution.Minute, Market.Binance).Symbol
        self.SetBrokerageModel(BrokerageName.Binance, AccountType.Margin)
       
        self.rsi = self.RSI("BTCBUSD", 14, MovingAverageType.Simple)
       


    def OnData(self, data):
        # it is IsReady
        #if not self.rsi is ready:
        if not self.rsi.IsReady:
            return
       
        profitTargetPercent = 1.01
        stopLossPercent = 0.997
       
       
        if self.rsi.Current.Value > 72:
            self.SetHoldings(self.btcbusd, 0.1)
           
       
        marketOrderTicket = self.StopMarketOrder(self.btcbusd, -1.0, stopLossPercent)
        limitOrderTicket = self.LimitOrder(self.btcbusd, -1.0, profitTargetPercent)

I don't think QC has the BTCBUSD data however. It is not in the Data Explorer…

Fred

With BUSD in your portfolio…

class RetrospectiveMagentaAlbatross(QCAlgorithm):

    def Initialize(self):
        self.SetStartDate(2017, 8, 24)  
        self.SetCash(100000)
        self.SetCash("BUSD", 100000, 1)
        self.btcbusd = self.AddCrypto("BTCBUSD", Resolution.Minute, Market.Binance).Symbol
        self.SetBrokerageModel(BrokerageName.Binance, AccountType.Margin)
       
        self.rsi = self.RSI("BTCBUSD", 14, MovingAverageType.Simple)
       


    def OnData(self, data):
        # it is IsReady
        #if not self.rsi is ready:
        if not self.rsi.IsReady:
            return
       
        profitTargetPercent = 1.01
        stopLossPercent = 0.997
       
       
        if self.rsi.Current.Value > 72:
            self.SetHoldings(self.btcbusd, 0.1)
           
       
        marketOrderTicket = self.StopMarketOrder(self.btcbusd, -1.0, stopLossPercent) # the 3rd param is not the percent, it's a price (your stop)
        limitOrderTicket = self.LimitOrder(self.btcbusd, -1.0, profitTargetPercent) # the 3rd param is not the percent, it's your limit price

For your orders, you will need to get the fill price and multiply by your percentages…

Victoria Butler,

The following back-test can help you get your base algorithm up and running.
