I've created my own forex back tester, and I've decided to share it. It's available at: https://github.com/johntseng/ForexRunner I realize it's pretty simple, but it's gotten me started. Any comments or suggestions are welcome.
I recommend you expand your github example section to give people an idea what is included in your API. Do you have a fill simulator? Performance evaluation? Can the system handle tick based data as well as compressed data, any data visualizations? Performance metrics? Just my 2 cents.
Good points. There's really nothing explaining what's special about this system compared to others. I've added more details to the readme. I haven't done most of those things you're talking about. Mostly I just wanted to share with the community what I've done. I like your idea about visualizations. It would be really cool to see what's going on. That's something I do want to eventually do.
I might post a video of the visualizations I came up with. But this thread is not the right place. Thanks for your work and I want to say I laud your effort. Most on this site just talk with very little valuable content but you put in the work and share it. Such is always noteworthy!
