Backtesting

Replay a strategy against historical candles before it touches a live market.

Running a backtest

Open the Backtest panel, choose a strategy (a bot or pasted ThunderScript), the symbols, timeframe and number of days, then run it. Backtests are synchronous and can take up to two minutes.

Parameter	Default
`timeframe`	`1h`
`days`	42
`initial_capital`	10000
`symbol` / `symbols`, `leverage`, `source`, `bot_id`	optional

The API is POST /api/backtest — see the API reference.

Backtests are not predictions

Historical results ignore slippage and liquidity effects you will meet live, and strategies tuned to the past often degrade. Confirm with a testnet bot before going live.
