Backtest multiple strategies together using portfolio feature to see which delivers the highest return with the least risk. Learn more here.
We recently introduced a new feature on algotest.in called Portfolio, which allows you to backtest multiple strategies together. In this blog, weâll backtest a sample portfolio of multiple strategies, and also show you how to avoid common pitfalls when using this feature.
Using Trail Stop Loss to Break-Even Price when Backtesting can be a useful feature to manage risk and maximize profitability
Learn how to use the VWAP indicator in your trading strategy. On AlgoTest, you can backtest an option buying strategy using VWAP.
Using Trail Stop Loss to Break-Even Price when Backtesting can be a useful feature to manage risk and maximize profitability
Letâs say we are short a 920straddle with a stop loss on each leg at 20%, and âSquare off: Partialâ selected. A large market move in one direction will lead to one legâs SL being hit. In this scenario, we will only exit that leg and continue to hold the position of the other leg. For example â if my call and put entry prices were both Rs 100, then my SL for each leg is Rs 120. Most likely the call SL will get hit first if the market goes up first. In this scenario, the put will continue to be in the market, with its stop-loss unchanged at Rs 120. A similar scenario unfolds if the market goes down first, in which case your put SL will be hit while the call stays in the market.

Once youâve discovered some profitable strategies the next step is to combine them in a portfolio. To build a portfolio, click on Portfolio, then âCreate new portfolioâ. You can select the strategies you want to include in your portfolio, and finally give your portfolio a name. On clicking âCreateâ, your portfolio will now be ready.

Backtesting, if used correctly, is a powerful tool to help evaluate trading strategies. However, as with any tool, it has limitations. As a silent observer over the past few months, weâve witnessed people pile into now crowded strategies after backtesting them (ehm the #920Straddle and its variations). Some people made money. Others didnât. Some lost a lot with the so called #freaktrades. Our purpose here is to explain the benefits and limitations of backtesting trading strategies in India as we understand them, while also making backtesting accessible to everyone interested.

Do you have a backtest loss higher than Stop Loss? Find out why this might happen and mismatch and what you can do about it!
In the world of backtests, we represent a constant flow of market data that your broker API receives as candles. A candle has the wonderful property of compressing all market activity over any period into 5 distinct data points â open, high, low, close and volume. With the benefit of this compression, however, comes a cost. The cost is loss of data. Once you go from 1-second granular LTP data to a 1-min candle, youâve essentially distilled 60 price data points into 4.
Find out how does AlgoTest define a Candle, and why this matters when backtesting your trading strategies for Indian markets.
In Zerodha, the 9.15am candle refers to the time covering 9:15:00-9:15:59. How does AlgoTest define this candle? In AlgoTest, this timespan refers to the 9.16 candle. So when we say 9:54am, the price you see on AlgoTest was Rs. 617.95, which corresponds to the close price of the 9:53 candle on Zerodha, which was Rs. 620, a lot closer to the price you see on AlgoTest!

AlgoTest will look at how you can build a backtest for a trading strategy in R or Python. It is not a question that I get asked often, but it is a definite misunderstanding that I see in the industry. Someone will want to build a strategy or a model but they want to do it in R or Python and they want to be able to backtest it. After that, we will get into how you can actually do it.
