Hi, backtesting in SC can be painful especially when you want to backtest over large data sets and have a lot of calculations and various charts. Imagine being able to put SC in a docker image and scaling up 50 instances to each test a portion of data in parallel and then aggregate the results at the end. I think there are a lot of people that would love that. In order to get there I think we'd need the following: 1. The ability to run backtesting in headless mode 2. The ability to pass in parameters and start backtesting from a CLI. (eg. ./SC --backtest --start-date --end-date --chart etc.) 3. The ability to capture and aggregate results from each run (this should probably be done more on the orchestration layer unless SC can become cluster aware) but still need SC to push results to stdout or a file. Thanks for listening. |
