Strategy testing

An idea is a start.
Put it through its paces.

Backtest strategy logic, validate its behavior, and explore parameters before deciding what belongs in your trading workflow.

Historical and simulated results depend on data and execution assumptions and do not guarantee live performance.

BUILT INTO YOUR WORKFLOW

Understand the behavior behind the backtest.

Backtest the logic

Run a strategy against historical data with the selected instrument, range, and execution assumptions.

Validate the behavior

Use the Validator workflow to review results and investigate how the strategy behaves under the chosen test setup.

Explore the parameters

Use the Optimizer to compare parameter combinations and fitness results, then review robustness rather than selecting on one result alone.

A CLEAR NEXT STEP

Build evidence before adding exposure.

STEP 01
Define the test
Select a compiled strategy and record the market, history, parameters, and cost assumptions.
STEP 02
Run and compare
Inspect the backtest and validation results, and compare parameter sets when optimization fits the question.
STEP 03
Check in simulation
Create a fresh strategy instance and observe it with LocalPaper before considering an external account.

Can I test my own C# strategy?

Yes. Build it in Code Lab and use the supported strategy selectors and research workflow for your installed release.

Are fills and trading costs always identical to live trading?

No. Historical granularity, fill models, commissions, slippage behavior, and provider conditions affect the result. Record and review the assumptions for each run.
