Backtesting
Understand backtest results and metrics
Read account balance and equity, the equity curve, drawdown, completed-trade statistics, and warnings.
Open the session’s Analytics, Trades, and Executions panels to inspect the replay. The report separates account-level values from completed-trade statistics.
Account values and curve
Cash balance reflects realized P&L and fees. Equity adds open-position unrealized P&L to cash. The equity curve plots sampled account equity through the replay. Maximum drawdown is the largest sampled fall from a prior equity peak; its percentage is measured against that peak. Candle OHLC data cannot identify the exact intrabar equity peak.
Completed-trade metrics
Win rate is wins divided by completed trades, with breakeven trades reported separately. Profit factor is total net winning-trade P&L divided by the absolute total net losing-trade P&L; with no losses it may display as Infinity. Expectancy is average completed-trade net P&L. Fees are deducted from trade net P&L; slippage is reflected in execution prices. An open position is shown separately and is not a completed trade.
Calendar day, weekday, and hour breakdowns use UTC. Sharpe and Sortino are omitted because this replay does not define a return-sampling model for them. Read the assumptions and report warnings before comparing sessions.
