Simple utilities for:

• Batch importing candle data into your Jesse database
• Running parallel backtests to find the best symbols and timeframes for a strategy and period

• batch_importer.py: Imports historical candles for a list of symbols and repeats daily. Handles rate limits and temporary network issues with retries.
• batch-backtest.py: Runs many backtests in parallel (via Ray) across symbols and timeframes, then prints a sorted summary and plots to compare performance.

• Python 3 with your Jesse environment available
• Jesse Framework (used via jesse.research and jesse.enums)
• For backtesting visuals/parallelism: pandas, matplotlib, seaborn, tqdm, ray
• Place these scripts inside your Jesse project and run them from that directory
• Ensure the conda environment with Jesse is installed and activated

Install extras into the same environment that has Jesse installed, for example:

pip install pandas matplotlib seaborn tqdm ray

Watch a quick demo: Parallel backtesting and importer overview

1. Open batch_importer.py and adjust configuration at the top:
   • EXCHANGE: exchange enum (e.g., exchanges.BINANCE_PERPETUAL_FUTURES)
   • SYMBOLS: list of symbols to keep up to date
   • START_DATE: earliest date to import (YYYY-MM-DD)
2. Run:

python batch_importer.py

The script loops through all symbols, retries on rate limits/network issues, and then sleeps for 24 hours.

1. Open batch-backtest.py and adjust configuration at the top:
   • STRATEGY_NAME
   • EXCHANGE_NAME
   • SYMBOLS, TIMEFRAMES
   • START_DATE, END_DATE
   • Optional data routes in DATA_ROUTES (for higher-timeframe/context data)
   • CONFIG (starting balance, fees, leverage, warm_up_candles, etc.)
2. Run:

python batch-backtest.py

The script:

• Initializes Ray and uses ~80% of available CPU cores (falls back to sequential if Ray init fails)
• Executes all symbol/timeframe combinations
• Prints a summary table sorted by Sharpe Ratio and shows comparison plots (heatmaps and bar charts)

• Ensure candle data for desired symbols/timeframes exists locally; use batch_importer.py beforehand if needed.
• Equity curve and file outputs are disabled in the backtester to keep runs fast and clean.
