Backtest a strategy before you trust it

An alert is only as good as the idea behind it. Run your buy and sell conditions over past candles and see how they would have behaved.

The Strategy Tester with an equity curve and performance statistics

The same strategy, no code

Backtests use the conditions you build in the alert builder, so there is nothing to translate into a script. Choose the asset, the timeframe, long or short trades and an exit rule, and run it.

Know what will run before you run it

Before you press Run, the tester states the test in plain English: the market, long or short, the entry and exit rule, the starting capital, the fee and slippage, and the date range. Optional stop-loss and take-profit levels are included.

Past results are not a promise

A backtest shows what would have happened, not what will. Use it to reject weak ideas and to understand how a strategy behaves in different market conditions.

What you get

  • Buy and sell conditions from the alert builder
  • Net profit, return versus buy and hold, CAGR, drawdown and Sharpe
  • Fees and slippage included
  • Long and short trades
  • Choose asset, exchange and timeframe
  • Turn a tested strategy into a live alert

Questions

Do I need to know how to code?

No. Strategies are built from indicator and price conditions in the alert builder.

Does a good backtest guarantee profit?

No. Past performance does not guarantee future results.
