Package Exports
- guanaco
This package does not declare an exports field, so the exports above have been automatically detected and optimized by JSPM instead. If any package subpath is missing, it is recommended to post an issue to the original package (guanaco) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.

🕗 Backtesting Example
yarn add gaunaco
- Determine your start date and interval of trading.
- Run your algorithm with the starting portfolio of your choice (here, we start with $2400).
- Asynchronously get your results!
import { Backtester, BacktestClient, BacktestClientPortfolio, BacktestInterval, OrderType } from '../../src';
const lastMonth = new Date(2019, 7, 30)
const backtestInterval = BacktestInterval.ONE_DAY
let backtester = new Backtester(lastMonth, backtestInterval)
let lastAskPrice = null
backtester.run({ usd: 2400 }, (client:BacktestClient) => {
const info = client.info('btcusd')
if (lastAskPrice && lastAskPrice > info.ticker.ask) {
client.buy('btcusd', 0.25, info.ticker.ask, OrderType.MARKET)
lastAskPrice = info.ticker.ask
}
}).then((result) => {
console.log(`We earned ${result.usd!}!`)
})
