Backtest-BTC-USD-on-Yahoo-data

What's stopping you?

And why Yahoo data when there are more suitable crypto providers?

Sorry my post was to quick.

What better providers are there? The problem with yahoo is, that I don`t know exactly what kind of data they provide. For sure, the data does not match with the data you can find on their website.

No problem. The data exactly matches what you find in the "download history" section on their website, assuming you compare the same ticker (they do vary like BTC-USD and BTCUSD=X which is crappy) etc. We work with what we have.🤷

As for better providers, please give Cryptocompare a try. It's built in. Also there is paid Kraken provider suite (which can be evaluated for 14 days free of charge):

Thanks, Eugene. It is helpful, however, I am still struggling to acess the data. Kraken is part of the premium package. After uploading I get the folder "Tradable Pairs" that I can however not access. I get error messages. What´s more, I am wondering where the data for a single crypocurrency is.

Kraken requires an API key that you should enter in the Data Manager before using. But you have other choices: Cryptocurrency and Yahoo.

To use Kraken - our first integrated cryptocurrency broker provider - you need an account. As explained in the Wealth-Lab Help Guide:

In your Kraken.com account, navigate to the Security section by clicking your username > Settings > Security. Then click to enter the API page and "Add Key".

Thanks, now it works.
