Backtesting

  • Data Downloading - Obtaining historical data for backtesting
  • Assumptions made by backtesting
  • :warning:Backtest Traps
    • Trailing Stoploss
      • The bot mostly gonna check profit based of high value, then in case of a long green candle, you might exit near the high, especially if you set a very tight trailing.
      • FSD – Trailing stoploss
    • Custom Exit 
      def custom_exit(self, pair: str, trade: Trade, current_time: datetime, current_rate: float, current_profit: float, **kwargs) -> Optional[Union[str, bool]]:
    dataframe, _ = self.dp.get_analyzed_dataframe(pair, self.timeframe)
    current_candle = dataframe.iloc[-1].squeeze()
    current_profit = trade.calc_profit_ratio(current_candle['close'])
      • The snippet above will make sure your current_profit tied to last closed candle’s close rate, ensuring that your backtesting results are consistent with live trading results.
      • FSD – Custom exit
    • ROI
      • Using time intervals that correspond to your timeframe will help you avoid falling into the ROI trap.
    • Backtest in batches
      • Can you avoid such issue while still doing backtest in batches? Sure, if your average trade duration is very short.
  • Improved backtest accuracy
