When I try to execute a simple crossover strategy algorithm outside quantopian framework using zipline, I get the following error.
KeyError:
This is a simple crossover strategy where 50-100 day moving averages are calculated to derive trading strategy. I am unable to run this strategy out of Quantopian framework using zipline.
Code is as follows
*import pandas as pd
import zipline
from zipline import TradingAlgorithm
from zipline.api import order, sid
from zipline.utils.factory import load_from_yahoo
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
from zipline.api import order, symbol, record, order_target
import pytz
%matplotlib inline

data = load_from_yahoo(stocks=['AAPL'], indexes={}, start=start, end=end)
