Thank you for putting so much effort into this

Thank you so much! Amazing content. For the next video, would it be possible to take into account slippage and commissions when backtesting the strategy?

Great video! Can you tell me how to stop the bot/ the run_all function for the Trader? I know there is a function called stop_all, but once I started run_all, it runs forever

Did you take the course that lumiwealth offers? I'm having trouble finding complete or up to date documentation anywhere. I figure the only way to access it is to pay for the self guided course. Wanting documentation on using other brokers and also implementing live cryoto kline data. Things of that nature.

Thank you very much with this tutorial. Would you also do a video on cryptocurrency trading as well?

I do not have a knowledge in trading bots but would like to have my own and stop paying for other people monthly fees.
