Details

Full description

Get the details and results of a backtest. By default returns the summary (statistics, capped trades, warnings).

Trades — in the default summary they live at results.trades (NOT top-level trades). When capped (20 in summary mode, 500 in full mode), results.trade_count and results.trades_truncated flag the truncation. Use include=["trades"] with trades_offset / trades_limit to page every trade under a top-level trades key.

get_backtest(backtest_id)                                       # summary
get_backtest(backtest_id, include=["trades"], trades_offset=0, trades_limit=100)
