Instant Back Testing                       

The currency used can be switched between $ and £. I am based in the UK so it is displaying in £.

The amount per point used to illustrate profit/ loss (position size / lot size) can be adjusted to reflect your level of trading.

Trade by Trade

In addition to the back test overview above you can examine the back test period trade by trade. This can tell you a lot about what you might expect when trading this symbol in the future.

Equity Curve

As well as the summary and trade by trade results you can examine the "Equity Curve". This is extremely valuable as part of the assessment of back test results and gives you a very visual indication of what it has been like to trade the symbol throughout the back test period.

It shows winning (up) periods and losing (down) periods. You will immediately see if there are periods of several losing trades in a row but more importantly you do not want to see a huge profit made from just one or two trades with all the others being average or poor.

The Equity Curve visually reveals the detail under the figures. The perfect Equity Curve would be a straight line from bottom left to top right. This is not possible but the closer we see to that ideal the better it has traded in the past and therefore the better it is likely to trade in the future.
