About

We developed an in-house backtesting engine to test our algorithms.
This repository serves to host our engine and store trading algorithms.

Getting Started

Prerequisites

Please use pip to install all required packages:

• pip3

  pip3 install requirements.txt

Developing with us

All algorithms must inherit the Algorithm class.
To run your algorithm, create a script:

• You can use Engine to run your algorithm and backtest it
• Use Chart to plot the results of your backtests
