NotImplementedError() what does this mean, event profiler pyalgotrade


I'm trying to run pyalgotrade's event profiler. I'm using custom data, it works when I run it with the default stratergy/predicate 'BuyOnGap' however when I try and run it with a simple custom strategy it throw the error:

Traceback (most recent call last):

NotImplementedError

My code is:

from pyalgotrade import eventprofiler
from pyalgotrade.technical import stats
from pyalgotrade.technical import roc
from pyalgotrade.technical import ma
from pyalgotrade.barfeed import csvfeed

class single_event_strat( eventprofiler.Predicate ):
    def __init__(self,feed):
        self.__returns = {} # CLASS ATTR
        for inst in feed.getRegisteredInstruments():

            priceDS = feed[inst].getAdjCloseDataSeries() # STORE: priceDS ( a temporary representation )

            self.__returns[inst] = roc.RateOfChange( priceDS, 1 )
            # CALC:  ATTR <- Returns over the adjusted close values, consumed priceDS 
            #( could be expressed as self.__returns[inst] = roc.RateOfChange( ( feed[inst].getAdjCloseDataSeries() ), 1 ), 
            #but would be less readable

    def eventOccoured( self, instrument, aBarDS):
        if (aBarDS[-1].getVolume() > 10 and aBarDS[-1].getClose() > 5 ):
            return True
        else: 
            return False

def main(plot):
    feed = csvfeed.GenericBarFeed(0)

    feed.addBarsFromCSV('FCT', "FCT_daily_converted.csv")


    predicate = single_event_strat(feed)

    eventProfiler = eventprofiler.Profiler( predicate, 5, 5)

    eventProfiler.run(feed, True)

    results = eventProfiler.getResults()
    print "%d events found" % (results.getEventCount())
    if plot:
        eventprofiler.plot(results)

if __name__ == "__main__":
    main(True)

What does this error mean ?

Does anyone know what's wrong and how to fix it ?

Here is a link to the eventprofiler code:

As a bonus does anyone know where I can find examples of the profiler being used? other that the example pyalgotrade gives, seen here


Solution

  • I think you just made a spelling mistake in eventOccurred method definition

    def eventOccoured( self, instrument, aBarDS):
    

    should be replaced by

    def eventOccurred( self, instrument, aBarDS):
