This is a very simple example referenced in the beginner's tutorial:
https://enigmampc.github.io/catalyst/beginner-tutorial.html
Run this example, by executing the following from your terminal:
catalyst ingest-exchange -x bitfinex -f daily -i btc_usdt
catalyst run -f buy_btc_simple.py -x bitfinex --start 2016-1-1 \
--end 2017-9-30 -o buy_btc_simple_out.pickle
If you want to run this code using another exchange, make sure that
the asset is available on that exchange. For example, if you were to run
it for exchange Poloniex, you would need to edit the following line:
context.asset = symbol('btc_usdt') # note 'usdt' instead of 'usd'
and specify exchange poloniex as follows:
catalyst ingest-exchange -x poloniex -f daily -i btc_usdt
catalyst run -f buy_btc_simple.py -x poloniex --start 2016-1-1 \
--end 2017-9-30 -o buy_btc_simple_out.pickle
