Backtest & Papertrading

1) Open the bot from your terminal

  • cd core

  • docker-compose build

2) Configure your parametres

  • Set either 'BACKTEST' or 'PAPER_TRADE' to 'true' in src/config/index.js

  • Choose the market, strategy, time and candles you want to backtest or papertrade

  • If BACKTEST is set to true then the bot will run against the historic market chosen.
