Future Candlestick API: High/Low Sequence Possibilities

I have tried to backtest and simulate my trading bot models to get results what they could achieve in the past.

At entry, every intervals, my bot would take 3 actions as following:

  1. Take A Position (Long or Shot)

  2. Place A Take Profit Order for 3%-change Stop Price

  3. Place A Stop-Loss Order for 3%-change Stop Price

If Action 2 was fulfilled, the bot would cancel Action 3 and vice versa. If Action 3 was fulfilled, the bot would cancel Action 2.

This is what could happen based on the ‘/fapi/v1/klines’ api (OHLC) when we feed the one interval time of data:

Open: 100

High: 103

Low: 97

Close: 100

Supposedly, the bot took the short position at open time (for the price 100). Then the bot place Actions 2 and 3.

These are what it could happen:

First scenario is that the price then dropped to 97 then the bot fulfilled a take profit order and then cancel Action 3.

Second scenario is that the price then jumped to 103 then the bot fulfilled a stop-loss order and then cancel Action 2.

These scenarios lead to High/Low Sequence Possibilities that could affect the performance of bot-trading models.

Currently, I used only ‘/fapi/v1/klines’ to do backtesting; however, I am struggling with these two scenarios that could happend before or after another.

I was wondering if there is some logics or rules that could navigate the correct scenario when we do backtesting that could be addressed by any of Binance Future Market Endpoints APIs.

Thanks for trying to understand my problems. Hopefully someone have already solved these problems and can share the solutions.

Backtesting is outside the scope of the API and therefore does not offer any support to ease the process.

To obtain the dataset you requested, you may either iterate the KLines endpoint programmatically until you find a match, or manually build the dataset yourself.

Please note that this board exists specifically to solve with API related question. For trading strategy support, I suggest having at other platforms dedicated to that topic.
