Advice on back testing


Recommended Posts

Hi all, has anyone got any advice on how to back test a strategy automatically? Doing it manually backward or in present is pretty tedious in finding and I wonder if it wouldn't be so hard to automate it via one of the platforms. I've done some macro and script writing before but not in any major programming languages so something not too hardcore would be good.

Thanks

    • Look Ahead to 6/6/23: RBA interest rate decision; UK retail sales; British American Tobacco Australia’s central bank is likely to keep rates at 3.85% in June, but may raise again soon as inflation remains uncomfortably high. More data is likely to show cost of living pressures continue to weigh on the British consumer. Plus, watch out for consumption trends and earnings from British American Tobacco.
