Hi Rade,
Hope you are well.
Is back-testing of trading strategies something that the Bfbotmanager development team are considering for future releases?
Betfair offer historical data for a fee.... I believe since we have Live and simulation modes currently for your software, a "back-test" mode would be of great value to users to test strategies on the historical data provided by Betfair.
Maybe other users can provide insight on how they see such a module working together.
Thank you again for your wonderful software and continued development.
Kindest Regards

Hi share85,
Thank you for your suggestion.
We considered this, but we concluded that it would be best to make this as separate software/module so we left it for future development.
Regards,
Rade

Hi Rade,
Thank you for the prompt response.
I look forward to this development, I hope in the near future

.
Or maybe a client can order for this separately as a custom bot or new software by contacting Sodens?
Kind regards

Hi all,
I too would be interested in a backtesting module.
Rade, I suggest you send an email out to all current subscribers to see if the demand is there for an additional module for backtesting and demand (I think a high percentage of people would be willing to even pay an additional sum of money PCM for a backtesting module). Depends on your workload however!
I think it would be fantastic to be able to backtest instantly with results of the previous year in a matter of seconds.
All the best,
Wrighty

Hi Wrighty,
Thanks, we already reviewed this and we have some plans for future, but we do not have time estimate.
This is not a small work, because historical data is huge and is not free.
Regards,
Rade
