7. Strategy Tester: Backtesting

Crypto Charts

Crypto charts creates historical databases from the 1 minute history downloaded from the crypto exchanges. All higher time-frames are automatically created. Tick data can not be downloaded. Tick data is only available from the day you start collecting the data (running the robot). In order to maintain a useable tick database, you should run the robot 24/7 to ensure you do not experience any data holes.

Alternatively, you can adjust the values and settings within the strategyTester.
