To use the BackTest function (testing strategies on historical data), the MoonBot terminal is not required, but it is recommended to switch to EMULATION mode via Menu – Emulation mode. The BackTest functionality works with historical data, and tick trades and the order book are drawn according to the recorded data in the .bin file. After clicking on the “Play” button in the BackTest window, protection will be triggered and the general terminal mode will be automatically switched to EMULATION mode, even if it was previously in real operation mode. After the start of playback, real trades are no longer shown in the terminal on the selected coin, but instead historical data from the file is played.bin, which can be used to repeatedly test strategies. After the end of playback of historical data from the file .bin real trades and order book data appear on the coin’s chart again, but the general terminal mode remains in EMULATION mode. If necessary, after the end of the file playback.bin you can switch to the real terminal operation mode via Menu – Emulation mode (uncheck).
Is it necessary to switch the MoonBot terminal to EMULATION mode when using the BackTest function (testing strategies on historical data)?
