Backtesting with alpha deserialized from JSON, rather than executing AlphaModel

Hi,

In order of improving the performance of backtests, I would like to load the alpha-results.json in place of executing the AlphaModel. Is there any helper class to load alpha-results.json and issue insights based on the insights in the file?

Thanks

Hi Erik,

At the moment, there is no helper method to execute insights from a file.

However, you could try using our custom data importer to create insights from the data in the JSON file.

Best,
Shile Wen
