Algo Twins is a project I run with a friend from university. We build trading bots for cTrader in C#, and we spend just as much time testing them as writing them. Over the past months we built and tested a portfolio of bots on 13 instruments: forex pairs, gold, silver and Bitcoin. Each bot manages its own risk, sizes positions based on account equity and keeps track of the daily and overall drawdown limits that prop firms use. We learned the hard way that a nice backtest can be misleading. Some of our early results looked great and then fell apart once we tested them on tick data with real spreads and commissions. Since then, every strategy we build is checked tick by tick before we trust it. We also do the research side in Python: we test ideas on historical data, measure how price moves after an entry, and throw away the ones that don't hold up. We've worked with forex, commodities, indices and crypto data, including order flow from exchanges.
