Hello,
I am a recent customer of QuantRocket and am still learning the ins and outs of the platform. As such, it's taking me some time to figure out how to use Zipline. However, I'd like to learn as much as possible regarding the performance/speed aspect before I am able to run a backtest.
I understand there is a variance based on the complexity of the code, but approximately how long does it take Zipline to run a backtest on one US stock's 1 minute data for 1.5 months?
Thank you!
It depends, but why not just run a backtest and find out? It doesn't really seem to me that a forum post is warranted here when you can just experiment. The support forum is primarily for reporting bugs or asking for very occasional pointers (one or so a month) after you've experimented on your own. For needs that go beyond that, paid support is available. I want you to succeed but also want to be candid about the volume of support we can realistically offer via this channel. Please check out the support FAQ for more.
