Thank you for putting so much effort into this

[@MattMacarty]

Glad it helped

Thank you so much! Amazing content. For the next video, would it be possible to take into account slippage and commissions when backtesting the strategy?

[@MattMacarty]

Glad it helped. Commissions, etc. can be accounted for as when setting up your backtest. See an example here: lumibot.lumiwealth.com/getting_started.html#adding-trading-fees

Did you take the course that lumiwealth offers? I'm having trouble finding complete or up to date documentation anywhere. I figure the only way to access it is to pay for the self guided course. Wanting documentation on using other brokers and also implementing live cryoto kline data. Things of that nature.

[@MattMacarty]

I didn't take the course. The documentation is pretty good here: lumibot.lumiwealth.com/index.html. lumibot doesn't work with all brokers. It works with Interactive Brokers, and anything built on top of Alpaca. You might try contacting them to see the timeline for other broker support.

Great video! Can you tell me how to stop the bot/ the run_all function for the Trader? I know there is a function called stop_all, but once I started run_all, it runs forever

[@MattMacarty]

You can just stop in the IDE or close the program

[@beatmoney4533]

Thank you very much with this tutorial. Would you also do a video on cryptocurrency trading as well?

[@MattMacarty]

I don't have anything in the works, but this sort of script can be repurposed for crypto by changing the symbol(s).

[@walternokomashala]

I do not have a knowledge in trading bots but would like to have my own and stop paying for other people monthly fees.

[@MattMacarty]

OK, lots of ways to do this, but I can only suggest lots of education before jumping in.
