How to use backtesting

Test your DCA strategy against historical data before going live.

Backtesting

Backtesting lets you simulate your bot's strategy using historical market data. Available on the Expert plan.

Go to the Backtesting page

Select the asset(s) to test

Choose the time period (e.g., last 30 days, 90 days)

Configure DCA parameters (budget, levels, etc.)

Click Run Backtest

Total P&L: Net profit or loss for the simulated period

Win rate: Percentage of profitable trade cycles

Max drawdown: Largest peak-to-trough decline

Trade count: Number of simulated trades

Test with the same settings you plan to use live

Try different time periods — a strategy that works in a bull market may not work in a bear market

Use backtesting results as guidance, not guarantees — past performance doesn't predict future results

Backtesting assumes perfect order fills (no slippage)

Doesn't account for exchange fees beyond estimates

Historical data may have gaps for newer assets
