Chapter 8 (02_backtesting_with_zipline)

Strategy Backtesting
#1

When I run this:

results = run_algorithm(start=start_date,
                       end=end_date,
                       initialize=initialize,
                       before_trading_start=before_trading_start,
                       capital_base=1e6,
                       data_frequency='daily',
                       bundle='quandl',
                       custom_loader=signal_loader) # need to modify zipline

print('Duration: {:.2f}s'.format(time() - start))

I get:

Warning: 0 is not a string!
Warning: 0 is not a string!
Warning: 0 is not a string!
Warning: 0 is not a string!

I’m I missing something? The backtest in the zipline demo ran just fine but this one has not worked.

The notebook runs fine on my end. Please try to debug which line is causing the issue.
