Tick Backtest

Welcome to the user documentation for Tick Backtest. This site explains how to install the package, run tick-level FX backtests, configure strategies and metrics, and interpret the generated artefacts.

What You Can Do

• Run deterministic tick-level FX backtests from YAML configuration files.
• Combine compiled tick feeds, rolling indicators, and predicate-driven entry rules.
• Produce reproducible manifests, NDJSON logs, and trade-level analytics for every run.
• Generate post-run reports, equity curves, and metric stratification studies.

How to Navigate

• New users should start with the Quickstart to install the package and execute the packaged demo project.
• Use Configuration as a reference when editing backtest, metrics, or strategy YAML.
• Analysis & Reporting walks through the outputs written under the configured output_base_path/<RUN_ID>/.
• Developers can explore Architecture for a deeper look at the runtime flow and resilience features.
• Advanced implementation notes live under Developer Notes; these are optional for end users.
