Backtesting Python Bot with MT5

New comment

Hello
I write a python bot and it's working fine with mt5.all the functions that i write is correct and i use lib like metatrader5, pandas and ect for my code.
the only problem is backtesting. i know i can write a data loader and reporting system myself with python but it's too much useless work right now.
is there any backtester for mt5 that i can connect my code to it with terminals and other stuffs ?

I would appreciate if you could report back if it did or didn't work,

As I am curious to know, as I myself might migrate the python in the future, but would hate losing the ability to use metatrader's strategy tester.


Good luck mate.
