v3 Completed Its First Backtest

About 2 years ago I wanted to move house. So I looked at an apartment, and it was nice enough and had fantastic views of the beach. Next door was an empty yard. Just grass. I signed a 6-month lease.

On the very day that I moved in to that apartment, they started building an apartment block in that empty yard :-) I was stuck there for 6 months, and nobody would take over my lease because of the construction next door.

It seemed like it took a really long time just to dig the hole for the foundation and the carpark. But once the foundation was complete, the actual construction of the apartment block went relatively quickly (though I still cursed them every morning).

And that's the segue into the update on v3. I tore everything down and started again. And man, it seemed like it took a really long time to create the foundation. But now that I'm getting into the "fun stuff" (of getting TSATM to actually do backtests and autotrading, etc), it's all just clicking into place.

v3 completed its first backtest yesterday, 24th August. A milestone which probably doesn't mean much to you, but was certainly a big deal for us. Because so many little operations have to work, and work together, in order to spit out a backtest result.

Get excited! :-)
