Backtesting & results
Quick and deep backtests, reading metrics
- 01Backtesting your strategyRun a strategy over historical candles — a quick pass while building, or a deep run across a long date range.
- 02Reading your resultsWhat the equity curve and the headline metrics mean, where funding and the risk policy show up, and how to read the numbers together rather than chasing one of them.
- 03Margin, liquidation, and fundingHow a leveraged backtest is judged like a Binance futures account — when a position is liquidated, what the "approximate" notice means, and how perpetual funding shows up in your result.
- 04Risk policyOptional rails on the account — exposure caps, drawdown stops, a daily loss limit, a cash reserve, margin-ratio limits, and compounding. What each one does, and how to read what it did to your backtest.
- 05The Edge ReportThe one card that asks whether your backtest describes an edge or just describes the past — eight checks, what each one tries to break, and how to read a card that has no verdicts yet.
- 06Out-of-sample and walk-forwardThe two deep-backtest settings that decide how your window gets cut — what each one holds back, what the dates under them mean, and how to read the verdict that comes out.
- 07PortfoliosBacktest several strategies and pairs together as one account — fixed weight or a shared pool, the account settings every leg shares, each leg's own settings, and the book's risk policy.
