Backtesting a strategy

Test classic technical strategies on historical data and read the performance metrics and trade history.

Configuring a backtest

Enter a ticker, choose a strategy, and set the start and end dates, then run the test. Built-in strategies include an SMA crossover, RSI oversold/overbought, Bollinger Bands, a MACD signal, and a momentum strategy.

Reading the results

The results panel summarizes performance and lists individual trades.

Avoiding overfitting

A strong backtest is not proof of a durable edge. Test across different periods, prefer simpler rules when results are similar, and remember that transaction costs and changing market regimes can erode a curve that looks perfect in hindsight.
