4.7 simple_simulator_usage.py: assert error

[Kerberos007]

I bought the book.

trying to reproduce all the simulator results.

everything looked good with position class & portfolio class, until I encountered the below assertion error, when running the simple_simulator_usage.py.

using all of the csv files you provided. can't continue with this error. I have not even tried my own portfolio simulation yet.
Is this a known issue? thanks in advance,

in _compute_equity_series(self)
64 c_series = self.cash_series
65 p_series = self.portfolio_value_series
---> 66 assert all(c_series.index == p_series.index), 'portfolio_series has dates not in cash_series'
67 self._equity_series = c_series + p_series

ValueError: Lengths must match.,

printed below debug info:
c_series index and p_series index were out of sync:
len(c_series) = 646
len(p_series) = 2446

Hi @Kerberos007, please try running the corresponding code in this file: https://github.com/chrisconlan/algorithmic-trading-with-python/blob/master/src/simulate_portfolio.py

It is the similar to listing 4.7 but does not throw the error you described.

Thanks.

I got the same error.

ValueError: Lengths must match.

c_series index and p_series index were out of sync:

len(c_series) = 646
len(p_series) = 2446

I am trying to adapt the same code to my FOREX trades and I am getting all sorts of errors too.
"AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'strftime'"

I have change the datetypes and all but still no show. either I get 'str' object has no attribute 'strftime' or I get the above.
