|
|||
|
||||
The following lists some common patterns which should be avoided to prevent frustration:
|
||||
|
||||
- don't use `shift(-1)`. This uses data from the future, which is not available.
|
||||
- don't use `.iloc[-1]` or any other absolute position in the dataframe, this will be different between dry-run and backtesting.
|
||||
- don't use `shift(-1)` or other negative values. This uses data from the future in backtesting, which is not available in dry or live modes.
|
||||
- don't use `.iloc[-1]` or any other absolute position in the dataframe within `populate_` functions, as this will be different between dry-run and backtesting. Absolute `iloc` indexing is safe to use in callbacks however - see [Strategy Callbacks](strategy-callbacks.md).
|
||||
- don't use `dataframe['volume'].mean()`. This uses the full DataFrame for backtesting, including data from the future. Use `dataframe['volume'].rolling(<window>).mean()` instead
|
||||
- don't use `.resample('1h')`. This uses the left border of the interval, so moves data from an hour to the start of the hour. Use `.resample('1h', label='right')` instead.
