Backtesting

Updated 2026-10-29

The backtester runs your rules on real exchange candles and shows the equity curve, every trade and the statistics.

Building a strategy

• Coin, timeframe (5 minutes to 1 month) and history (500 to 5,000 candles).
• Long or short.
• Entry rules and optional exit rules: conditions like "RSI(14) crosses above 30" or "Price > EMA(200)", combined with all (AND) or any (OR).
• Stop-loss and take-profit in %, fee per side, position size and starting capital.

Orders fill at the next candle's open, fees included. Save strategies to your account and load them later.

Describe it in plain English

Signed in, you can type a strategy, for example "Buy when RSI rises above 55 and price is above the 200 EMA; take profit at 1%, stop at 2%", and the AI fills in the rules. Only indicators the backtester knows are used; anything it can't express is listed so you can set it by hand. Always check the rules before running: AI can misread a description.

Fees change everything

Pick an exchange's fee from the list under Fee % per side. Results show the same test without fees and how much the fees cost; if fees turn a profit into a loss, you'll see a warning. Strategies that make many small trades are hit hardest. See exchange fees.

Reading results

Net profit, buy-and-hold for comparison, number of trades, win rate, profit factor, maximum drawdown, average and best/worst trade, bars held, time in the market and Sharpe ratio. Past results don't predict future returns.
