Every trade in backtesting executes exactly at close price 100% of the time. That never happens in real life. That also means the insane amount of gains that RSIBBADX can make in backtest also will never happen in real life. It's time we get some more realistic backtesting in Gekko.
So I made some modifications to papertrader. You guys can see the changes I made to try to make it a lot more realistic. The gist is, your trades won't get execute at close price 100% of the time, and it's not just some random number generator that determines if your trades get executed (but adding that would make things more realistic than what we have currently).

This is of course true.
Good work with the mods.
