Backtesting Candlestick Patterns in Python

Thanks for the video Chad, Really appreciate for sharing this.

I'm looking for something that allows me to plot lines (MAs, whatever) and marks for signals and text. And also something that I can zoom and scroll. Does any chart librarly allow that kind of stuff or all they "all at once" like it looks here?

nice work ♥

Hi , if i want to pass logic for buy at high price for previous candel?

Shouldn't you be buying on the Open price?
I think vbt shifts the values so you'd be buying on the open after the signal

Your name sounds pretty much Maharashtrian

Mate! priceless!!1

How do you get the signal to reflect the following day ie trading stocks not crypto?

Google Colab:
!pip install vectorbt
!pip install yfinance
!pip install talib-binary

i made exactly the same but I keep getting errors any help !!!!!

Thanks for the video! Upward and downward trends, which these candlestick patterns rely on, weren't considered along with the candlestick pattern in the backtests. That may have an impact on the outcome.

ok i have a dumb question on candle stick pattern recognition why do some candle stick patterns when being tested preform better when you reverse them ie: piercing pattern normally gives a bullish or bearish signal but if you back test it and set it so that the bullish signal is a buy order you will horrible results but if you set the bullish signal to sell instead you get a rediculous high win rate i did this experiment on eth/usdt by the way, am i missing something here or is this the difference between stocks and crypto?

Great content.

Keep on going mate, your videos are precious resources!

Great video, but I personally think that using candles for trading is for witches & wizards. I just use my computer...
