Time Machine: how to test your Bot on past matches?

What is the Time Machine?

The CornerPro Time Machine lets you test a Bot using real matches that have already been played.

This way, you can analyse how the criteria set in the Bot would have worked in previous matches and see whether they need to be adjusted.

What is it for?

The Time Machine helps you validate the logic used when creating the Bot.

By testing the criteria on historical matches, you can see:

• how many times certain conditions were met;
• how the Bot behaved in different matches;
• whether the criteria you set make sense;
• whether there are elements that should be adjusted before you keep using the Bot.

How to use the Time Machine?

First, you need to have a Bot created on CornerPro.

Then:

1. open the Time Machine;
2. select “New Analysis”;
3. choose the Bot you want to test;
4. select the category that best fits the type of Bot;
5. set the analysis options;
6. generate the report.

CornerPro recommends using the category that best suits the market and the criteria set in the Bot.

Can I test several markets?

Yes. The Time Machine lets you analyse the Bot in different markets, helping you compare its behaviour across several scenarios.

There are also report options that let you take the analysis of the results further.

What do you get at the end?

Once the analysis is complete, you can check the test data and get a clearer picture of how the Bot would have worked in the matches analysed.

The idea is to use historical data to evaluate and adjust the Bot's criteria, rather than relying only on a first impression of the strategy.
