Buying and selling Bitcoins or any other custom data

API Using Data Tools and Tips

Hi all, I am new in the community.
I am using both quantopian and zipline locally and I have the following problem. I would like to use the zipline/quantopian api to make some research and backtests for Bitcoin or any other custom data (stocks of my country which I have che csv in my computer).
Firstly I would like to use the Bitcoin OHCLV and make some backtest, however I don't know how to implement buying and selling a custom stock. I know probably it's wrong but the idea would be to do something like the notebook I am attaching.
There is an error and I don't know if there is any workaround to solve it.
Ideally I would like to implement this in both apis ( quantopian and zipline in my local computer).

Thank you very much
Iván
