Only you can teach you how to do it. quantconnect.com has a lot of tutorials and other documentation that should be enough for you to learn from. I'm still learning the process of backtesting and I'm not aware of an "easy" way to perform this type of work. Source: almost 2 years ago

Thanks for the pointer. quantconnect.com and interactive brokers. I have a little fantasy that I'll do this once I retire and hand over 1% of my nest egg to it; see how it does... Hand over some more, etc... Source: over 2 years ago

I do like what I see and hear about backtrader.com. I would say they are a notable exception to my general rule of not trusting or using backtesting frameworks. However, I still think it is important to understand how the framework you are using works. So if you are using backtrader for backtesting you still need to put in the time to understand the backtesting engine. Source: about 1 year ago

What about backtrader.com? And I feel like it would be step 2 after you at least have something to backtrade and test haha. Source: about 1 year ago

Backtesting is basically applying your strategy on historical price data to see if it makes money. I've used Backtrader it works decently well: https://backtrader.com/. Source: over 2 years ago
