How do youbacktest a tradingstrategy?

A straight answer · Routine

01The short answer
ANSWERGo back in time on a chart, hide the future, and apply your exact rules candle by candle, recording every trade: entry, stop, target and result. After at least 50 to 100 trades you know your win rate, average risk-to-reward and worst losing streak.
02Key points
  • Write the rules down first, then test them unchanged.
  • Record every trade, including the ugly ones.
  • Practise it for free in the Cypher Backtest Lab on Discord.
