just download a dataframe of a stock or asset. Here is a simple colab notebook showing you how to do it with yfinance though I highly recommend spending some time on youtube watching some tutorials. They will help with the learning curve. I posted several good youtube tutorials in the discussion forum a while back. Hopefully you can find them easily.

@josyjr25 there is gold in those tutorials. You absolutely started with the right backtesting library out there. It is simple and straightforward, it is blazing fast and the community is pretty darn friendly.
