Can I backtest a FinNifty strategy?

Backtests 2 views

Not at the moment. FinNifty index data is not available in the current backtest engine, so FinNifty strategies can be run live (or in Live Offline) but not backtested. The same applies to Midcap Nifty and Nifty Next 50.

This article used to point to a video that backtested a FinNifty Iron Fly built with the Option wizard. That video was made on the older backtest engine and no longer matches what you will see today.

What you can still do

  1. Build your FinNifty strategy (for example with the Option wizard). Pick NFO as the exchange and then FinNifty.
  2. Run it in Live Offline for at least a week to see how it behaves.
  3. Always add a stop loss. Watching how it behaves in Live Offline is the safest way to check your exits before you go live.

If you need the same idea tested on history, build it on NIFTY or Bank Nifty, which the backtester supports, and compare. For anything else, chat with support on tradetron.tech.
