Backtest Analytics

Results from the local backtesting engine across major US equity indices, commodities, and large caps.

Methodology

Each strategy is backtested on daily OHLCV price data across a universe of major US equity indices and ETFs. Signals are generated from technical indicators with no lookahead bias — entry and exit prices use the open of the bar following the signal.

Metrics shown here are averages across all symbols a strategy was tested on. Transaction costs and slippage are not modeled, so results represent an upper bound on real-world performance.
