I wonder if it’s possible to export the data from an online account to the Community Edition Docker container so that trading can continue without interruption. I know that we can export bot configurations. But can we also export and import other data?
Would need to write the logic for a db export in cloud and db import in local. This should go in feature requests.

What about backtesting download data? Can it be saved somewhere on the desktop and retrieved to speed up backtesting for the same strategy?
Candles are already saved and are reused between backtests.

Do they stay saved if we restart Docker and PC?
Yes they are saved in your browser cache

Thanks Ares. Have you ever thought of adding a bot or an addition to the trading bots that would execute both short and long trades with the same bot and the same funds? If not, would this be a bad idea? I have never tried short trading, so I don’t know if this would work or not.
I’m afraid that wouldn’t be possible. You can’t go long and short at the same time on the same funds, only one side will be executed. The closest you can get is the hedge bot, but it needs separate funds for long and short.

Thanks ares. Could you explain further? I mean if short was to trigger at RSI 85 on 30 minute, then sell at rsi 40 and long was to buy at rsi 20 and sell at rsi 50, then they would never intercede, would they? Never be trading at the same time? Am i wrong, perhaps? You would know better than me about the short part.
They won’t trigger at the same time, but they still can’t share the same funds.
A short position isn’t just an opposite signal. It’s a separate position type that requires its own margin. When the exchange opens a short, it allocates balance for that side. If the same bot tries to open a long, it needs its own free balance as well. The exchange won’t mix those two because each side carries different risk.
Even if your RSI rules never overlap, the problem is the capital allocation underneath. The bot would need to reserve funds for each possible trade. That means you end up splitting the balance anyway.
This is why hedge-mode systems always use two isolated sides: one for long, one for short. It avoids conflicts, margin errors, and forced cancellations.
Please, consider to open a new topic instead of hijacking my one.
My bad Yo. I know it must be frustrating to get notifications that people have responded to you. Won’t happen again. But don’t lay any blame on Ares. He is a great guy and just answering a user’s question.
