Example Bot: EMA Crossover

import qtradex as qx
import numpy as np


class EMACrossBot(qx.BaseBot):
    def __init__(self):
        # Notes:
        # - If you make the tune values integers, the optimizers
        #   will quantize them to the nearest integer.
        # - By putting `_period` at the end of a tune value,
        #   QTradeX core will assume they are periods in days and will scale them
        #   to different candle sizes if the data given isn't daily
        self.tune = {
            "fast_ema_period": 10.0,
            "slow_ema_period": 50.0
        }
        self.clamps = {
            "fast_ema_period": [5, 10, 50, 1],
            "slow_ema_period": [20, 50, 100, 1],
        }

    def indicators(self, data):
        return {
            "fast_ema": qx.ti.ema(data["close"], self.tune["fast_ema"]),
            "slow_ema": qx.ti.ema(data["close"], self.tune["slow_ema"]),
        }

    def strategy(self, tick_info, indicators):
        fast = indicators["fast_ema"]
        slow = indicators["slow_ema"]
        if fast > slow:
            return qx.Buy()
        elif fast < slow:
            return qx.Sell()
        return qx.Thresholds(buying=fast * 0.8, selling=fast * 1.2)

    def plot(self, *args):
        qx.plot(
            self.info,
            *args,
            (
                # key name    label    color   axis idx   axis name
                ("fast_ema", "EMA 1", "white", 0,        "EMA Cross"),
                ("slow_ema", "EMA 2", "cyan",  0,        "EMA Cross"),
            )
        )


# Load data and run
data = qx.Data(
    exchange="kucoin",
    asset="BTC",
    currency="USDT",
    begin="2020-01-01",
    end="2023-01-01"
)
bot = EMACrossBot()
qx.dispatch(bot, data)

On-chain DEX data

Backtest against on-chain DEX pools with DexPaprika (36 chains, no API key). Set exchange="dexpaprika" and pass the pool as network/address:

data = qx.Data(
    exchange="dexpaprika",
    asset="WETH",
    currency="USDC",
    pool="ethereum/0x88e6a0c2ddd26feeb64f039a2c41296fcb3f5640",
    begin="2026-01-01",
    end="2026-07-01",
)

Find pool addresses via https://api.dexpaprika.com/networks/{network}/pools/search.
