 "title": "Backtest a trading strategy described in plain English",
 "page_title": "How to backtest a trading strategy described in plain English with Vibe Trading",
 "summary": "Install the package, run the setup, and ask for a backtest in one sentence.",
 "who": "A developer with a strategy idea who does not want to write data loading and backtest code by hand.",
 "problem": "Testing even a simple moving-average idea means wiring data, signals and metrics together first.",
 "outcome": "A finished backtest with a summary of return and drawdown, and the generated code saved in the run directory.",
 "steps": [
  "Install with `pip install -U vibe-trading-ai`",
  "Run the interactive setup (vibe-trading init in the README quick start) to write your .env with an LLM key",
  "Ask for a backtest with vibe-trading run and a prompt, for example a BTC-USDT 20/50 moving-average strategy for 2024",
  "Read the run card: settings it did not recognise are reported, and values it cannot compute come back as null instead of a guess"
 ],
 "agent_prompt": "Install HKUDS/Vibe-Trading and backtest <strategy in plain English> on <symbol> for <period>. Report return, max drawdown and number of trades, and list any backtest setting the run card flagged as unrecognised.",
 "agents": [
  "any"
 ],
 "difficulty": "Intermediate",
 "time": "20 minutes",
 "basis": "readme",
 "caveat": "A backtest is not a forecast, and the project warns it has never launched a token, so ignore any coin using its name. Not financial advice: paper trade first, and remember you can lose money.",
