Hey guys at quant connect could you guys answer some of my questions here :3.
- is it possible to use diffrent tick intervals for diffrent indicators ?
- is there a way to add peristance ?
- any good links to learn like youtube ?
- can you import custom indicators ?
- is there a discord group ?
- are the backtest tick data or something else
Im trying to import a algo I made codelessly from mudrex. The problems Im facing right now is that btc is more volitial than I want it to be. Also most of the extanges that allows you to short requires funding fees even at 1x. From doing some reserach I have realised my algo lags alot since most of the indicator is based off atr. So when the market is choppy I tend to lose alot. I think trasfering over to mutral funds would greatly reduce my losses since the market their is more consistant and less choppy. All in all the compleixty of my algo is a bit high but hopefully I can get this done even thought im code illerate.

Welcome to QC!
is it possible to use diffrent tick intervals for diffrent indicators ?
Yes. You can use any data resolution (tick/minute/hour/day) for any indicator.
is there a way to add peristance ?
Assuming you mean persistence - yes, this can be done, through e.g. downloading a file externally when you boot up the algo that contains the information you need to maintain persistence.
any good links to learn like youtube ?
See the documentation section on tutorials.
can you import custom indicators ?
You can write your own indicators, yes.
is there a discord group ?
No, we are not a gaming community, but we have a Slack channel.
are the backtest tick data or something else
You can choose between tick, minute, hour and daily data. Please see the data repository for more info.
