      Hi everyone, Im writing this post with the hopes to gain some clarity/ direction if you have the time to help a n00b out:)

      • I have no prior coding experience
      • I want to focus on learning to code for the purposes of helping me with crypto trading
        The program I have in mind would:
      1. analyze past and present crypto market charts by identifying support lines/bases, (defined by parameters such as how strong market reactions off these support lines. an example of a website that has already achieved this part beautifully. https://qft.hodloo.com/#/binance:ada-usdt
      2. gather statistics on the most successful charts based on strategy I will be implementing.
        Any suggestion on how I can start heading towards this direction would be so immensely helpful:)
        Can backtrader help with any of this?

        backtrader is not a charting platform. It can generate a chart of the results, but it is not a charting platforrm.

        The emphasis is there because you seem to be looking for a charting platform.

        1 analyze past and present crypto market charts by identifying support lines/bases

        For the purpose of analysis there is no meaningful separation between past and present. There is data. Some users have shown charts of self-developed indicators identifying support-resistance areas. So it seems doable (It is known which algorithm they used to decide what's a support/resistance)

        1. gather statistics on the most successful charts based on strategy I will be implementing.

        You can gather statistics, but not from the charts. From the data produced by the Analyzer (or directly in the logic) instances you add.

        I have no prior coding experience

        Start by reading the Docs - Quickstart

        But let me be blunt: if you have prior coding experience you are going to allow yourself a lot of time, to first learn programming and then how to work with the framework. I would personally focus on learning programming before anything else.
