Engine

The DemaTrading.ai Engine is an open source backtesting Engine for cryptocurrency bot trading as a part of DemaTrading. The Engine is completely written in the programming language Python. Some experience with Python makes this process easier, however with some effort this project should be runnable for everyone, no matter your experience with coding.

Developing

To start developing your very own strategy, we suggest reading our docs for more information.

To give you a headstart, we included a sample strategy which can be found in /resources/setup/strategies/my_strategy.py

If you want to create your own strategy just simply copy the sample strategy and change the name of the class to for example 'MyNewStrategy'. Then just change the config.json file in the Engine directory accordingly to test this strategy:

"strategy-name": "MyNewStrategy"

For feature requests or suggestions, please write a message in our Discord under #engine-support.

Installing Code Editor

To make your a life a lot easier during strategy development use a code editor such as PyCharm (recommended) or VSCode.
