It looks like it is due to arrow being version 0.13 in the docker container. If I do a pip install arrow --upgrade to get arrow to use version .0.17, it works!

Seeing the same issue today when trying Jesse for the first time. Followed instructions to create docker container and start postgres, when trying to import candles, it tells me “start_date must be a string representing a date before today” even though my start date is before today (and is valid):

jesse import-candles ‘Binance’ ‘BTC-USDT’ ‘2020-01-01’
