FAQPage Schema

How do I develop and backtest an algorithmic trading strategy?▼

Strategy development involves creating a strategy class, implementing data ingestion handlers, configuring indicators, and managing the order management system. You can validate logic against historical data before deploying to live trading environments.

What is the best way to manage data for backtesting?▼

Data management for backtesting uses Parquet data catalogs to store historical instrument data. You configure the data catalog, load instrument definitions, and let the execution engine ingest price data to simulate market conditions for strategy validation.

Can I use this for live trading across different exchanges?▼

Yes, live trading is supported through integration adapters. After backtesting, you connect your strategy to a live adapter to execute real orders, manage positions, and handle live data streams across supported venues.

How does the order management system handle execution workflows?▼

The order management system (OMS) tracks order states, manages submissions, and processes fill events. It ensures your strategy logic translates accurately into live and simulated orders throughout the execution workflow.

What do I need to set up before running a quick backtest?▼

Before running a quick backtest, you must install the framework, load sample instrument data into a Parquet catalog, and configure your strategy. This setup provides the necessary environment to execute and see initial backtesting results.
