Backtesting

Backtesting simulates your strategy against historical data so you can evaluate performance before deploying capital.

Running a backtest

1

Open your strategy from Strategies.

2

Go to the Performance tab.

3

Select a date range and review the equity curve, metrics, and benchmarks.

Full tab reference: Performance Tab.

Limitations

Backtesting is a simulation. Keep in mind:

• Slippage - real fills may differ from historical prices
• Survivorship bias - delisted assets may not appear in history
• Overfitting - tuning to past data may not work forward

Past performance does not guarantee future results.
