Hi everyone!
We added a new tutorial to the documentation that demonstrates how to use the API to get your backtest orders into the Research Environment and then plot the fill prices on interactive Plotly charts. The script creates a plot for each asset you trade in your backtest so you can visually investigate your algorithm's trading behavior.
To view the full tutorial, see Reading Orders.

Note: The preceding plots only show the last fill of each trade. If your trade has partial fills, the plots only display the last fill.
hmm, can backtest contain partial fills?Â
Also, it would be nice to be able to plot live trades as well…
p.s. I can see quotation formatted in the post editor, but after publishing the formatting is gone…

Hi Yuri,
It's possible to get partial fills in a backtest with a custom fill model.
