Backtest on all pairs and strategies defined in backtest-config.pl with candles 5, 10, 20, 40 and 12 hours warmup period:
Code:
$ perl backtest.pl -n 5:144,10:73,20:36,40:15`

I think they are both minutes:minutes.


I am not sure about that. If you take a look at the instructions it mentions "candles 5, 10, 20, 40 and 12 hours warmup period"
and if you multiple for example 5x144 you get 720 minutes which is 12 hours.
So to me it looks something more like Hours:Minutes  but we need an official confirmation.
I am wondering how can people do backtesting without knowing this specific info which is of great importance.

5:144

As I understand
5 - candle size in minutes
144 - warm period in candles

Hi!
I started the selection of the strategy parameters (16000 variants). But after going through 10% progress was again 0%.

A little about the environment:
ОС: os x high sierra

strategy configuration:
SMA_long = "100..1000:100"
SMA_short = "10..70:10"

BULL
BULL_RSI = "15..30:10"
BULL_RSI_high = "70..80:10"
BULL_RSI_low = "40..50:10"

BEAR
BEAR_RSI = "15..30:10"
BEAR_RSI_high = "50..60:5"
BEAR_RSI_low = "20..40:5"

backtest log:

[2018-12-02 14:11:31] 10% complete. Elapsed: 01:33:44, average backtest duration: 00:16, backtests remain: 15121, ETA: 14:03:36

I m pretty sure your problem is in the strategy itself, not in the backtester.
You are missing one or more indicators for the strategy you are using and it clearly says that in the error.

Your indicators are in the RSIBULLBEAR folder that you downloaded from GitHub. Just copy and paste them in the Indicators folder, inside Gekko folder.

Check Crypto49er vids out on youtube that are very clear if you need further info on how to install your strategy.

Cheers!
