Configurable Default Backtesting & Optimisation Settings
06 May 2024, 11:07


It would save a lot of time and improve testing consistency if the user could pre-set preferred settings for Backtesting & Optimisation so that each time a new cBot instance is added, the Backtesting & Optimisation tabs are pre-populated with the desired settings:

  • Starting Capital
    [e.g. 50,000]
  • Commission
    [e.g. 0]
  • Data Source
    [e.g. Tick Data]
  • Spread
    [e.g. 0.4]
  • Start Date
    [e.g. 05/04/2020]
  • End Date
    [e.g. 05/05/2024]

I have to agree Andrew, every single time I recompile my bot I have to change all the backtesting and optimization settings back to what I want it to be by default.
