How Our Test Runs Work
We source tick data from Tickstory, transforming it into candlestick data to replicate real historical market conditions.
Unlike most backtesting software that relies on vector testing, our platform generates candlesticks dynamically, simulating live market conditions at every moment in history. This approach ensures unparalleled precision and reliability in testing your strategies.
Additionally, our software offers flexibility by allowing you to customize commission, spread, and swap settings. This feature lets you replicate real-world trading conditions based on your chosen broker, delivering the most realistic results possible.
Data You’ll Receive
After completing a test run, you’ll gain access to the following comprehensive insights:
- Success Index: A metric calculated as total profit divided by total loss and commission.
- Overall Success Rate: The percentage of profitable trades.
- Detailed Graphs: Interactive candlestick charts with indicators, open trades, and customizable display options for various chart elements.
- Trade Metrics: Daily, monthly, and yearly breakdowns of open positions, including pip movement, opening times, position durations, P/L, and more.
Utilizing the Data
The results from your test runs empower you to:
- Identify weaknesses in your strategy and pinpoint its strongest and weakest periods.
- Analyze detailed charts to adjust tactical parameters for improved performance.
- Compare and combine strategies to discover optimal combinations for success.
With these insights, you can refine your approach and develop more robust, high-performing trading strategies.
