Tick-based backtesting
-
Hi everyone. I want to perform backtests such that:
- Indicators being calculated with daily timeframe data.
- Main loop progress with tick-based data or at least like zipline (with closes of a shorter timeframe, like 1min).
And I need feature two for the following:
- being able to simulate stop-losses, i.e. within candle body or shadows - not only in candle close.
- being able to backtest intra-bar strategies, so it could simulate entry and exits within body of a single bar.
Is it possible to do it with backtrader? Can you show me some examples?
Thanks in advance.
