Testing Trading Tasks
The Testing Trading Tasks node organizes trading sessions involving testing of trading systems.
Content
Thorough and comprehensive testing of strategies is at the core of successful trading. Superalgos strives to put you in control of the testing process providing you with flexible tools to fit your criteria.
Depending on how you use the system, how many markets and exchanges you work with, the number of trading systems you use, or the way you choose to test your strategies, you may find yourself with a large number of testing sessions. As explained in the sorting of tasks page, the testing environment helps you organize large numbers of tasks sorting them by exchange, market, and trading mine.
Superalgos handles two types of simulated tests: backtesting and paper trading. Backtesting involves testing over historic data, while paper trading is about testing on a live data stream, but without placing orders at the exchange.
Trading sessions are controlled by a number of parameters that determine how the session is run. The built-in parameters provide great control and flexibility as to how to handle data sets and how to produce the resulting simulations.
Note: Please, read on and study the workings of the chain of nodes under the testing environment node. The investment of time is well worth it, as you will learn how to make the most out of the strategy-testing features built-in Superalgos.
