Strategy Backtester (Beta)
Simulating logical rule outcomes against historical chart histories.
Approved Site-Wide Copy Statement
"The Strategy Backtester (Beta) simulates historical performance using daily/hourly historical candle data. Historical results are hypothetical and do not predict future performance. Slippage, commissions, and spreads are modelled based on static settings."
What It Means
A tool showing how a technical rule set would have behaved in past markets based on static historical charts.
What It Does NOT Mean
It is not live trading, does not guarantee live profitability, and does not simulate variable dynamic broker slippage.
Known Limitations
- No survivorship bias protection for all instruments
- Static spreads do not reflect real news events
- Candle data granularity is not a tick-by-tick order book representation
