API Seeking Help Fetcher Using Data Tools and Tips

Hi,

I'm wondering whether zipline can locally be used to simulate a trading strategy whereby you buy and sell cryptocurrencies?

If it is possible, how can you do it? I have the crypto data stored locally.

Thanks for any help,

Jack

Has anyone done some research on trading crypto-currencies on Zipline? As in some possible algorithm with back-testing results.
