Sorry for the late response, barely getting started on this platform. The error suggests that the wiki prices data set hasn’t been created yet - did you go through the steps outlined here: machine-learning-for-trading/create_datasets.ipynb at master · stefan-jansen/machine-learning-for-trading · GitHub?

#4

yes i run the script create_datasets.ipynb , but still got that error

#5

If you run

with pd.HDFStore('assets.h5') as store:
    print(store.info()

does the result contain the wiki price data? This assumes your are using the right path, in other words running this command in the data directory. If you see the data, then the path you used above (DATA_STORE) is not pointing to the right file - perhaps you organized your folders differently? If you do not see the file, you should revisit the steps in create_dataset.,

Thanks Stefan , i think i find the issue
