Forex bot & backtest system with Python #13 - Converting Dataframe data types

We chatter on this Discord server:

Creating a forex bot and backtesting system with Python for complete beginners.

If you want to trade seriously in the Forex markets, you must build yourself a backtesting system.

If you want to trade without emotion, build a system to do it for you.

Using Python you can test 100s of pairs over years of data in just a few minutes.

This way you can test your strategies, and pretty quickly discover that the well known 'indicators' and strategies are worthless.

Quick one, I see you are transforming this in floats which are differently represented than Decimals.
In my readings all advised to use Decimals when I did this type of transformation. Would you please share your opinion on this topic? Thank you!

Thanks for uploading this series. Great content and delivery. Really enjoying!

I was wondering why you don’t use the oanadapyV20 package and it’s endpoints?

Also, might be getting ahead of myself but do you cover actual trade execution within Oanda? Thanks in advance!
