Re-enable back testing feature #245

Closed SamThomp closed 9 years ago

SamThomp commented 10 years ago

Is the back testing feature coming back in a later release? I've been attempting to add the functionality myself but I'm not sure what would be the best way to add the feature.

Would modifying the processHistory method in the Market manager, by adding a method to read a candles from file help to achieve having a backtesting feature?

Its part of 0.2! See #255 for details.

Not really because thats a special function that only routes trades into the tradeAdvisor to build a starting point (if you want EMA in your method, you need historical data to calculate it).

Is there work going on with the backtester somewhere on github? I'd like to see where it's at and maybe add if I can.
