Possible to run sim through random synthetic market data?

[Primea1]

I think it would be a good idea to append random synthetic market data to the end of a sim to see how it will react to sudden random market reactions. Is this possible?

Yes, it is possible. You wouldn't even need to programm it. Simply add some random trades to the mongodb database for the corresponding timeframe.

I’ve been thinking about this and it would actually be quite helpful for strategy testing and development if we had some fixed test data the bot could use.
Maybe datasets for:

• Sideways market
• Rapidly rising/falling
• waving markets
