Backtesting more than 1 cBot on a single symbol.
01 Dec 2020, 18:53


Hi guys,

I searched high and low for this (only found one unresolved thread covering this subject on this forum from 2015) and I have run extensive tests in CTrader over the last few days - but the one thing I cannot seem to find is the ability to backtest more than 1 bot on a single symbol. Eg, I want to back test a bot I wrote and a bot written by a third party on the same symbol, in one instance.

Is this possible? You can do it in real time on a demo account obviously (which is what I am doing now to check behaviour) but I want to try and crush it with a 1-3 year test for due diligence.

Look forward to a quick response - hopefully I am just overlooking it :)

Thanks!

Hi dinodelides,

It is not possible to backtest two strategies at the same time. To achieve this, you will need to merge the two strategies into a single cBot.
