Who else here has accidentally built a backtesting library without realizing there was a nice pre-built option like this out there?

[bitterbob]

This channel is great. Would love to see some intermediate complexity strategies and then maybe a super in depth video on a very complex strategy.

Thanks a lot algovibes for your quick response, luckily problem is sorted out by watching some of your other videos. Great content.

[omali]

This is genuinely amazing. Would love to see it on aroon crossover strategies and other strategies

[rajeevmenon]

Yes. Definitely a deep drive with your expert intuitive videos. Also teach how to apply backtesting to real trading. How to take trades, shoot trades etc

[jackinthebox]

Thanks, great video. Would definitely be interested in more in depth tutorial on this, particularly regarding bespoke strategies.

[tanayrajware]

YES SIR VERY GOOD VIDEOS WE WANT TO DEEP DRIVE IN IT.

[tradewithaakash]

thankyou so much for taking time and making such an amazing content

[hannes]

Thanks, great intro to the back testing lib

[davidoconnor]

Excellent video thanks! When testing other strategies, e.g an rsi(2) from Larry Connors, I had problems using the rsi indicator from the ta library but the pandas-ta worked fine. Coding indicators from scratch and back testing just using python is time consuming but worth it for the expertise gained.

Excellent article.. please do a video with deep dive strategy end2end

[bdcash]

Thanks. That Backtesting library looks so powerful.
(It makes me a bit nervous to hand off the calcs to the TA library IYKWIM. I like to understand the whole of how things work.)

[johnadam]

Sir, thank you for this amazing tutorial! Could we include leverage in backtest?

[giridhart]

What other libraries are available for backtesting, that are still being maintained and good support?

[itayhilel]

great video, let's do some different strategies then try to implement on binance api like the older videos, and put this to the real test!!

[Pork-Chop-Express]

Fan Request - Using TA-Lib and yfinance, can you transform all the indicators of ta-lib into Strong Sell, Sell, Neutral, Buy, and Strong Buy (#1)? And then #2, allow a user to Check box however many indicators they want to calculate an overall average of Sell or Buy?

Loving your videos, what's your favourite backtesting library you've seen so far? Want to get started on the right one :)
Also.. would be interested in a deep dive to see if you can implement better Risk Management: layering entries / SL / TP strategy (e.g. SL below previous wick, TP a certain % at next horizontal or after certain Profit % has been hit), and does this have other indicators like BBWP / RSI to be used to improve the Crossover strategy?

[neuvocastezero]

Thanks, this is a great tutorial, but for some reason the plot function is not working on my setup, and the output for "Strategy" is truncated in the output so that is shows "SMAcross(n1= 100, .... Is there a way to print out the optimized SMA lengths to supplement the standard output?

Amazing video, Awesome Resource. Thanks!

[amanchaure]

Hello Sir, how can we set a trailing stoploss condition with backtesting library? Can you explain it with any basic strategy (such as ema crossover)
