Feature request - PRT read and set backtest parameters


Guest Stef

Recommended Posts

Ability to read and set parameters on Backtester in code.

 

For instance, being able to reference the initial capital that was specified on the backtester from within your strategy code to calculate position size.

 

Or, being able to set fees - commissions/spreads, etc. from within the strategy code. Would make it easier to standardize testing - by copying and pasting all this information at the beginning of every strategy - fees, start and end date, initial capital, etc.

 

Other platforms already have this - Amibroker comes to mind.

 

Anybody else see the need for this?

    • I've developed an initial version of a market sentiment checker, which utilizes the concept of weighted log returns to gauge the mood of the financial markets. This tool is designed to simplify the complex task of assessing market sentiment by analyzing fluctuations in price data. By applying weights to log returns, it emphasizes the significance of certain data points over others, offering a more nuanced view of market dynamics. This approach allows for a fundamental analysis of market sentiment and provides insights into the current state of the market at any given moment. It serves as a valuable tool for investors and traders looking to make informed decisions based on the underlying sentiment driving market movements. sentiment-sleuth - Github Link
    • Demo account: Please note that conditions on demo accounts may differ from real accounts. Some brokers may only provide overnight loans on real accounts and not on demo accounts.
    • Swap Rate: Check the swap rates for your open positions. Overnight loans are calculated based on the difference between the interest rates of a currency pair, and if the difference is small or negative, you will not receive a loan.
