Default Cryptocurrencies, stocks, algorithm trading

Anyone deal with these things? I remember this board was all over bitcoin's nuts when it was hiking to $1200

It took me far too many years but I realized I could use my immense math skills and interest in theoretical math and programming to make money.

Currently building a variety of bots to trade cryptocurrencies. I've spent a lot of time learning to manually trade with good success rates (did 20-30 trades on Eth in a few hours recently, only lost 1, the rest were 3-10% gains, which is actually sickeningly profitable if I was trading with more)

I have an automated backtesting system in place comparing every combo of indicator variables, but it's janky and I might build my own engine or just deal with it. Not sure how hard the backtest engine could be, might save it for later just to improve already good profits. Or I could find something open source, but haven't yet.
