BacktestTool - batch backtest, import and strategy parameters optimalization

[whoodat]

Anyone have some guidance here, if I just want to create this for one exchange and one crypto (Ethereum). I just want to punch a bunch of numbers into the Bull/Bear ADX over and over.  Thanks.

Assuming you had already gone through the setup, just go into the backtest-config.pl file and adjust what you need. I covered it in my recent video here:

Crypto:

When I run this I am receiving this error? Any guidance is appreciated.

perl backtest.pl

Thank you for your reply sir, I am still having issues with this and will post my error later. I really want to get this software running and greatly thank you for creating it.

xFFFFF loving the work and the commitment to helping others! One question i hope you can help me with is i'm trying to back test the Bull Bear RSI ADX version. However when i ask the tool to run parameters on all stats it crashes, is this because my rig isnt powerful enough to calculate all of those tests or am i doing something wrong. there is no error just freezes up.

hi
how to install the new version
Is there an easy way
we delete old and install new ?
thank you

[whoodat]

Again, I'm terrible at this BUT I'm learning a ton and GREATLY appreciate all who have helped me. I was watching crypto49rs videos and the one on import CLI. My problem is bc my server is headless how am I going to download the data XxF5 has provided. He has that on a google drive is there a simple way for me to move it from my desktop ubuntu to the server ubuntu? Again, none of this is simple to me :-p but I am learning pretty quickly.

Thanks in advance!

@ankasem yes. Replace old files. You can keep backup old backtest-config.pl, maybe will be usuable.

Its some problematic to download files from Google Drive via terminal. Im using gdrive (https://github.com/prasmussen/gdrive), but (Im not sure ) You need to create API key for Your account and service Google Drive: https://console.developers.google.com/

Here is some easiest solutions but I didnt test them: https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions...g-terminal

You can find the file or folder ID by right-clicking on the file name and then 'get sharable link'. The example link looks like this: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1O-dCj5...8cAvvIzUe7
ID is all for "id =" so ID for this file is: 1O-dCj5-OrOdrCeYqsBy_wm8cAvvIzUe7

In future I will implement downloader for these datasets in BacktestTool.

I was noticed by susitronix with this issue. I will try on my Windows fix it. Temporary You can disable printing analysis and TOP * tables in config file. Brute force work now? I forgot reply on Your message.

I created develop branch on my Github repo. So new feature will be available faster in this branch but can be unstable. Today I added import via CryptoCompare API so bittrex , zaif and others.
