Options Algo Trading & Backtesting Guide

Hi @Everyone,

Backtesting

Backtesting is the foundation of a strong strategy. It helps validate your idea using historical data and ensures the strategy works at least in theory.

The next step is execution, which is handled by the live algo.

We have also created a detailed video demonstrating extensive backtesting research.
