Backtest History

Backtesting Limitations

Backtesting results assume perfect execution and zero slippage, which are unrealistic in live markets. Results may not account for all trading costs, fees, or market impact. Historical backtesting data does not represent expected future performance. Users should not rely solely on backtesting when making trading decisions.

The TradeServer Backtest History page displays a list of all your backtests. The page layout is simple, with a list of backtests including information such as timestamp, script used, market, backtest period, length of backtest, profits reached, and ROI.

Options Column:

  • Check Icon: Clicking on this icon will store the backtest result for the long term. You can access the saved results later.
  • Bot Icon: This icon creates a bot out of the backtest result. You can use the backtest results to set up a trading bot that automatically executes trades based on the backtest's trading strategy.
  • Edit Icon: This icon gives you a window where you can set up extra tags to the backtest. This allows you to organize your backtest results and easily find specific backtests in the future.
  • Delete Icon: Clicking on this icon allows you to delete the backtest result. If you no longer need a particular backtest result, you can simply click on the Delete icon to remove it from the list.
