Backtest - bot efficiency analysis
The Backtest tool allows you to analyze the effectiveness of a bot using your selected settings, including grid parameters and investment amount. By simulating the bot’s performance based on historical trading data, Backtest helps users evaluate potential outcomes before launching a bot.
While the results are for reference only, they can provide valuable insights into optimizing settings such as grid quantity and investment amount for better performance.
Where to Find the Backtest Feature
The Backtest tool is available in the bot launch settings menu.
How to Use Backtest
1. Running a Backtest
Once you have configured or adjusted your bot’s settings, click the [Backtest] button to initiate the performance evaluation. A new window will display the estimated bot performance for the selected time frame, based on past market data.
2. Selecting a Time Interval
The time interval can be set for evaluation by changing the date range. Data up to 30 previous days from the current date is available for evaluation (up to 90 days for Pro Plan users).
To customize the evaluation period:
- Open the calendar tool in the Backtest window.
- Select the start date, then the end date.
- Click the blue button to confirm the selected period.
The system will then recalculate the bot’s performance based on the chosen timeframe.
3. Testing Different Settings
To analyze performance under different conditions:
- Return to the bot settings menu.
- Modify the parameters (such as grid levels or investment amount).
- Run the Backtest again to compare results.
This process helps refine bot settings before deploying them in live trading.
Final Notes
The Backtest tool is a great way to assess the potential efficiency of a bot, but actual results may vary based on real-time market conditions. Always consider risk factors and market volatility when making trading decisions.
