@pierrot said in Crowdfunding support of CCXT support in backtrader?:

Hi,

I asked this question in an already existing thread, but it stayed without answer (https://community.backtrader.com/topic/1424/can-backtrader-support-ccxt), so I raise it in this specific thread.

Mostly, it is addressed at @backtrader admin: if existing, would implementation of CCXT support in backtrader be acceptable?

If yes, and given a lot of work has already been done in this direction (https://community.backtrader.com/topic/623/anyone-use-backtrader-to-do-live-trading-on-bitcoin-exchange/291?page=15), but as you seem to indicate, maybe not fully according the best practises (you mention "ideally the best way would have been to create only a broker which can be loaded at run time"), would you be open to a crowdfunding of this feature?

For actual development, I see at least 2 different solutions (I am not relying on my programming skills, and current version of CCXT support appears at the moment not complying with backtrader development guidelines):

• either a detailed analysis from you of what needs to be modified to serve as "whitepaper" for an external IT company to quote this work & develop it (I am thinking for instance to backtest rookies https://backtest-rookies.com/professional-services/ as I am currently reading their tutorials on backtrader, and that they know backtrader, ccxt and panda)
• or fully developped by backtrader team?

I thank you for your feedback on this idea.
Have a good evening.
Best regards,
Pierre
