  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

• Automating a trading strategy with varying position size.

  QuantConnecthas a very nice framework for algo creation. I strongly advise learning their framework in-and-out to fully understand how to utilize it's power but part of their framework consists of the Portfolio Construction Model. This seems to be a solution for what you want to do. Source: almost 3 years ago

• Can an algo return 233,426.57 % in 5 years in a backtest be a reliable algo??!!

  I used quantconnect.com as a non-biased testing tool. My own backtest has a higher returns due to not considering fees and some biases. The higher crazy returns happens because the algos increases its holdings of the cryptos after each drops. Source: about 3 years ago
