Dear Members,
I wanna trade on the pair "ETHBTC". How should be the begin setting in the code?
Trading on "ETHUSD" is no problem. So i thought just changing the _ticker to "ETHBTC" and thats it. But is isn't that simple i guess?
Thanks in advance.

Hi Vronghel,
I suggest using Bitfinex (docs) for the data and brokerage for more crypto pairs support. We also need to SetCash to BTC so we can carry out the conversion. I've shown the necessary changes in the attached backtest.
Also, please see this thread for reference.
Best,
