Backtesting a strategy

Open Backtest, pick a strategy script (yours or a built-in one) or build rules without code, choose the contract, timeframe and sessions, and press Run backtest.

It works like TradingView's strategy tester: the script decides on each bar's close and market orders fill at the next bar's open. Stops, targets and trailing stops fill where the price reaches them. The bar magnifier walks the real one minute bars inside each bigger bar to decide which came first, so results on 5 or 15 minute charts don't guess.

Properties let you set the starting capital, order size, commission per contract, slippage in ticks and extra entries. The report has the key numbers, an equity curve against buy and hold, a long and short breakdown, the full list of trades with each one on a chart, results by hour, weekday and month, a reshuffle of the trades, and the chance the same trades pass a prop firm evaluation.
