Thanks for using wickra-backtest. Where to go depends on what you need.
Most questions are already answered:
- Project site: https://backtest.wickra.org
- README — installation for all ten languages, and a first strategy in each.
- Strategy spec reference — the full DSL: every operand, condition, sizing rule, cost model and risk control. If a spec is not doing what you expect, this is the file that says why.
- Cookbook — complete, runnable strategies to start from.
- Microstructure guide — the order-book, trade, derivatives and cross-section feeds, and which entry point can supply them.
examples/— the same strategy, runnable, in each language.- Architecture — how the engine works, what it deliberately does not do, and where things live.
If the documentation is wrong or missing something, that is a bug in it: open an issue with the documentation template.
- Open a GitHub Discussion for questions and ideas.
- Or ask with the question issue template.
- Browse existing issues first — the answer may already be there.
Open a GitHub issue using the bug-report or feature-request template; each has a longer variant if the change is substantial.
For a bug, the reproducer that helps most is the one this engine runs on: the strategy spec, the bars that trigger it, the binding and version you used, and what you expected instead. With those three a maintainer reproduces it in one command; without them, most of the exchange is spent reconstructing them.
Do not open a public issue for security problems. Report privately to support@wickra.org or via GitHub private vulnerability reporting — see SECURITY.md.
This project has a single maintainer and is supported on a best-effort basis. Issues are triaged and acknowledged as time allows; there is no commercial support and no service-level agreement. A clear, reproducible report gets help fastest, and a pull request that fixes what it reports gets it fastest of all.
Backtest results are not indicative of future performance. This is a research and engineering tool, not financial advice.
