#option backtesting

AlgoTest is a backtesting platform allowing you to create and run your own trading strategies. Learn why backtesting is important.

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, we’ve witnessed people pile into now crowded strategies after backtesting them (ehm the #920Straddle and its variations). Some people made money. Others didn’t. 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.
