Basic knowledge about trading (what candlesticks are, Long/Short...)

Description
Backtest your trading ideas before implementing them in real conditions!
Backtesting is an essential step when elaborating a trading strategy. This course will explain how you can use programming to estimate the potential performance of your strategy and avoid unpleasant surprises in live trading.
By the end of the course, you will be able to build your own backtesting framework and comfortably use all its features.

Collect and store large amounts of market data
Before starting to backtest, you need to have a reliable system that collects, stores and organizes the data. You will learn how to fetch data from any cryptocurrency exchange (Binance, FTX...) and store candlestick data efficiently in a powerful file format: HDF5. Many developers do not yet know about this file format, so you will have the upper hand by learning it!
