I don't seem to get through this error. Even though I have checked the backtest_results dir. It has three files one meta, json backtest results and the pickled signals. But when I run the script it seems to process the pairs but then throw the message 'no trades to show'.

Processing 71 pairs...
Strategy258btc
\_ No trades to show

Could it be a special case not covered by the if conditions under the following sections?

for sname in stratnames:
        bigdf = pd.DataFrame()

        print(f"{sname}")
        for tpair, trades in analysed_trades_dict[sname].items():
            bigdf = pd.concat([bigdf, trades], ignore_index=True)

        if outfile:
            outfile.write(bigdf.to_csv())
        else:
            bigdf.to_csv(f'{sname}_all_trade_buys.csv')

        if (start_date is not None):
            bigdf = bigdf.loc[(bigdf['date'] > start_date)]

        if (end_date is not None):
            bigdf = bigdf.loc[(bigdf['date'] < end_date)]

        if bigdf.shape[0] > 0 and ('enter_reason' in bigdf.columns):
            if group is not None: .......................

Would it have been better to use try & except somewhere?

I got the following error when running the buy_reasons script

Any workaround is appreciated!

Multiple tweaks:

• clean up use of --no-parallel
• add --timeframe parameter
• get data format from config instead of a parameter
• get pairlist from trades dataframe if pairlist is empty

This error is coming up although I don't see anything wrong with line 275..
