Building Golang Plugins
Windows
Plugin support is not yet available for Windows. However, you can still build via WSL. See below for instructions on a basic setup for WSL. Once completed, follow the instructions for Linux.
WSL Setup
The following is a basic setup for WSL: here
Linux, macOS & WSL
A plugin is a Go main package with exported functions and variables that has been built with:
go build -buildmode=plugin
This outputs a file named plugins.so which can be loaded by the backtester. At present, only custom strategies can be loaded. See here for more information on building custom strategies via plugins.
You must ensure that the plugin is built with the same version of code as the GoCryptoTrader Backtester. Otherwise the plugin will refuse to load.
