The Problem
What You Deal With Today
Hours of Compute Time
A multi-year backtest across 50+ pairs can take 4-12 hours on a typical VPS. Your machine is unusable during the run.
Data Download Required
You must manually download gigabytes of OHLCV data before backtesting. Stale data silently corrupts results.
Python Strategy Required
Every strategy must be written in Python with pandas DataFrames. No visual builder, no templates.
