Hi guys.
I am absolutely new to the use of trading bots, and just started using butterbot. I have some doubts about its configuration I hope you can help me solve.

1) in the backtesting, is it more desirable to do it long term (a year) or is it more useful to do it short term (3 months)? Market conditions change, and we know btc went through the roof last year, but the last 3 months have not been as kind, so maybe using the short term is more relevant to the current conditions?

2) Using the 3 month backtesting window, I´m getting around 7%. Is this on the level with what you get?

Thank you for helping a noob.
