Could you build this?
Partial Trade journaling and basic analytics are easy to vibe-code, but high-performance candle-by-candle market backtesting requires historical tick/candle data pipelines and optimized simulation engines.
What it would actually take: The backtesting component requires streaming or high-throughput retrieval of historical OHLCV data across multiple exchanges, managed in time-series databases like ClickHouse or TimescaleDB. The backtesting engine must be written in Python or Rust with vectorized calculations to handle slippage, commission, and order book simulation accurately at speed.
