Backtesting with ORATS API and Gemini PRO

Hi gang,

I'm interested in backtesting a bunch of ideas I have for trading options with SPX and SPY. I subscribed to ORATS for backtesting and the learning curve seems really high to get out of it what I want, and it seems powerful, but still unable to perform some of the backtests I am interested in. Plus the tutorial videos seem overly complicated and quite frankly, the two guys who do the videos are about as interesting as watching paint dry. They do not make it easy for retail investors/traders to understand. Then it occurred to me that it might be easier to use Gemini Pro with the ORATS API so that I can use plain English to have it perform a backtest for me.

Has anyone done backtesting this way on a regular basis? Have you found it useful or do you have a better recommendation for other types of backtesting software? I trade using Fidelity (it is great at filling orders)–and I don't want to switch to other platforms because it seems like each and every platform has its set of tradeoffs. Your thoughts? Thanks!
