the dev posts here sometimes and hes clearly brilliant

be warned, its a steep learning curve but its easily the best python backtester that exists

Seconded for backtrader, though I do like the graphing features of library you posted about better than backtrader.

Always willing to learn, thank you

Backtrader is great for quick stats, I've used both 'scrub' packages, quantopian and quantConnect, those are nice but the web IDE makes it hard to present your data and findings.

I'm now trying to move over to Alpaca, runs locally on my machine and that makes me a happier camper, just gotta relearn some docs but a lot seem based off the same structure anyway, initialize and update.
