Understanding Strategy Backtesting

What is Strategy Backtesting?

Backtesting is the process of testing YOUR trading rules against historical market data to see how they would have performed. We don't just run a quick test—we apply realistic assumptions including slippage, transaction costs, and proper position sizing to give you an honest picture of your strategy's potential.

The Problems

Why Backtesting Matters

Trading without backtesting is like flying blind. You might have a profitable strategy, or you might be risking your capital on an unproven idea. Proper backtesting reveals the truth.

Unvalidated Assumptions

You believe your strategy works based on gut feeling, not data

Hidden Risks

You don't know your maximum drawdown or worst losing streak

Unrealistic Expectations

Without real numbers, you can't set proper risk parameters

Wasted Time & Capital

Months of live trading to discover flaws that backtesting reveals in days

No Performance Baseline

You can't improve what you haven't measured objectively

The Solution

What You'll Discover

Every backtest report includes comprehensive metrics that tell you exactly how your strategy performed historically.
