How to use full candle?

[MinaSNessim]

Hello,
I'm new here, so this might be a repeated question.
From all tutorials, it seems that people only use closing price for back testing,
as far as I understand the price can hit the stop loss by the Low price then rise up again,
in that case the backtesting won't be accurate,
is there something I'm missing? or there is a way to use the full candle for the backtesting ?

Hi @MinaSNessim, Portfolio.from_signals takes the full candle: open, high, low, and close price series, and uses them for stop loss calculations.

Hey did you manage to find out how to use the entire candle? I want to stop loss on the open value of the candle, since the stop calculation appears to use the closing price of the next candle
