'Empty dataframe' when using a dataframe that has been imported from a file

[AlgoQ]

When I'm using another dataframe from a file an try out the backtesting Quick Start strategy I get the message at the parameter '_trades' that the Dataframe empty is, although it isn't. Can someone help me out?

Code:

import numpy as np
import pandas as pd
import json

from backtesting import Strategy, Backtest
from backtesting.test import GOOG
from backtesting.lib import crossover

# Define ohlcv
with open('E:/Work/histCryptoDatafeed/ohlcv_binanceF_BTCUSDT_14days.json') as json_file:
    data = json.load(json_file)

ohlcv = pd.DataFrame(data, columns=['Date', 'Open', 'High', 'Low', 'Close', 'Volume'])
ohlcv['Date'] = pd.to_datetime(ohlcv['Date'], unit='ms')
ohlcv = ohlcv.set_index('Date')

def SMA(values, n):
    """
    Return simple moving average of `values`, at
    each step taking into account `n` previous values.
    """
    return pd.Series(values).rolling(n).mean()

class SmaCross(Strategy):
    # Define the two MA lags as *class variables*
    # for later optimization
    n1 = 5
    n2 = 10

    def init(self):
        # Precompute the two moving averages
        self.sma1 = self.I(SMA, self.data.Close, self.n1)
        self.sma2 = self.I(SMA, self.data.Close, self.n2)

    def next(self):
        # If sma1 crosses above sma2, close any existing
        # short trades, and buy the asset
        if crossover(self.sma1, self.sma2):
            self.position.close()
            self.buy()

        # Else, if sma1 crosses below sma2, close any existing
        # long trades, and sell the asset
        elif crossover(self.sma2, self.sma1):
            self.position.close()
            self.sell()
print(ohlcv)
bt = Backtest(ohlcv, SmaCross, cash=1000, commission=.0003)

stats = bt.run()

print(stats)

Output:

                        Open     High      Low    Close  Volume

Initial cash is 1000; prices are over 9000. Not a single unit can be bought.

[AlgoQ]

Oow okay, I thought it would buy smaller parts of a single unit. Good to know.

[kernc]

Yeah, few asset classes allow fractional ownership. And buying size=0.1 of something in Backtesting.py already means "spend 10% of available equity". For crypto like Bitcoin, you need to trade in fractional units, e.g. satoshis.
