What is Backtesting?

Backtesting is a critical process in algorithmic trading, allowing traders to evaluate the performance of their strategies using historical data. It helps determine whether a strategy would have been profitable in the past, providing valuable insights before deploying it in live markets. However, backtesting results may differ from live trading outcomes due to factors like slippage.

Tradetron’s Backtesting Engine simplifies this process, offering customizable inputs to test and refine your trading ideas efficiently.
