Backtesting

A closer look at the backtests

A backtest replays a strategy on historical prices. A short challenge test is a starting point. These videos look at what happens with more trades, longer periods, and rules written into code.

The process

From replay to coded tests

01

Challenge simulations

I replay historical trades and check whether they meet a challenge’s profit target without reaching its loss limits.

02

100+ trade follow-ups

I extend selected tests to see whether the initial result holds across a larger sample.

03

Coded over years of data

I turn the rules into code and run them over longer periods. The Casper SMC, Joovier Gems and Nitro Trades videos show what those tests found.

Coded strategy tests

Coded studies and videos combining replay with coded research. Each page keeps the samples separate.

Extended backtests

See how the results changed when I tested more trades, or ran the same idea under a different rule set.
