FAQs

Is btgym suitable for live trading, or is it exclusively for backtesting?

btgym is primarily designed for backtesting and research purposes, especially with reinforcement learning. While it builds on Backtrader, which can be extended for live trading, btgym's core focus is on robust simulation and strategy development, not direct live execution.

What kind of data sources can I use with btgym for backtesting?

btgym, leveraging Backtrader, is highly flexible with data. You can feed it historical data from various sources, including CSV files, databases, or even integrate with data providers. The key is to format your data appropriately for the Backtrader data feeds.

Does btgym provide pre-built trading environments or do I need to create them from scratch?

btgym provides the framework and tools to create your own custom trading environments compatible with the OpenAI Gym API. While it doesn't come with a large suite of pre-built, specific market environments, its design makes it straightforward to define your own based on your data and trading objectives.
