#🔒 Different Outputs every Time I run the program

I'm trying to do a python program that tests a trading strategy as this article describes:
https://www.quantitativo.com/p/a-different-indicator?open=false#§the-david-varadi-oscillator

The program I built (with the help of chatGPT) is attached. The problem I'm having is that the output is different every time I run it, even though I selected a limited time frame so market movement shouldn't be a problem.

Remember to:

  • Ask your Python question, not if you can ask or if there's an expert who can help.
  • Show a code sample as text (rather than a screenshot) and the error message, if you've got one.
  • Explain what you expect to happen and what actually happens.

:warning: Do not pip install anything that isn't related to your question, especially if asked to over DMs.

if your testing it you should capture data and make it static

a good testing strategy in this case is to capture data at two closely related points then follow your algorithm manually to see if it's doing what you expect

ok I'll reduce the time frame and will try to understand what is he doing

#

it might be that the results are expected

I'm kind of new to programming what I believe is happening is that I'm requesting a lot of data from yfinance and yfinance is not giving me all the data I'm requesting so that changes the result

fickle flax
#

if you think that's true then investigating the data and making sure you're getting what you expect is a good first step

#

and then you can save it and walk through the program step by step

alright thanks, I'll try to do that.
