Historic Data - Source
-
Hi,
I am new to backtrader and firstly want to know if this is possible.
Basically what I want to do is run a strategy and use different settings each time to see what works best in back tests. (Forex Data)
Normally in Metatrader you would have to run a backtest, chance settings and run it manually again.With back trader I surely think it is possible to run this in a loop to test what settings works best. (An example would even be better)
Now, where should I get historic data from?
Would Tickstory data be sufficient? (https://tickstory.com)Or is there another way to get this information?
Thanks in advance for any advice

You seem to be looking for optimization:
