Why Backtest? Because Proof
is Better Than Prediction.
Successful investing isn't about having a crystal ball. It's about having a process. Backtesting is the cornerstone of that process, allowing you to test your ideas against historical data to see what's actually worked.
“Crystal balls are for dreamers. Backtests are for builders. The glass may shatter, but the data remains.”
The Professional's Edge
"Backtesting is the closest thing we have to a silver bullet in terms of evaluating investment strategies. It allows you to see how a strategy would have performed over time. It’s not perfect, but it’s the best tool we have."
Remove Emotion & Guesswork
Backtesting replaces fear and greed with a data-driven process, allowing you to trade based on historical evidence, not emotion.
Understand and Manage Risk
Backtesting reveals a strategy's worst-case scenarios, including its maximum historical loss, so you can understand the true risk before investing.
Save Time & Money
Test decades of market data in minutes, not years. Quickly validate or discard ideas without risking a single dollar in the live market.
Build Real Confidence
Gain data-driven confidence by seeing how your strategy performed through various market cycles, making it easier to stick to your plan.
Optimize & Refine
See how small changes to your rules can dramatically impact performance, allowing you to refine your approach and build a more robust strategy.
Discover New Ideas
Uncover new, data-driven strategies you might have never considered by running a broad screen to see which indicators have historically performed best.
