pysystemtrade for intraday futures trading on 15 min, 30 min, 1 h bars?

[SamHHHH1]

Thanks for the books, this impressive library and the community.

I am looking with what technology I could start live trading some of the intraday (down to 15 min bars) futures systems. This are classical price pattern and indicators strategies with 0/1 (position on/off) across many markets, long/short. Different strategies can be long and short the same market at the same time.

Would pysystemtrade potentially be suitable for (1) backtesting, (2) portfolio construction and (3) live trading such strategies? Unfortunately can not asses by myself with my limited knowledge.

Thanks in advance for your answer.

I don't think live trading would work on such short timeframes. Your optimal positions are retrieved after a new backtest is run, and in the current state this takes a while. By default it runs after most markets are closed, and on my old server might take around 50 minutes (I forget exactly).

As you describe your knowledge as limited, the necessary modifications would not be feasible.
