Backtest Your cBot

Backtesting is a process used in financial trading to evaluate the performance of an automated trading strategy by testing it on historical market data. The idea is to simulate how the strategy would have performed in the past to gauge its potential effectiveness in the future. It is an essential step in developing a robust automated trading strategy, but it must be done carefully to avoid common pitfalls like overfitting and unrealistic assumptions.
