Backtest
یہ قانونی صفحہ صرف انگریزی میں دستیاب ہے۔
A backtest replays history: the strategy's rules are applied bar by bar (or tick by tick) to old data, producing a simulated track record. It answers exactly one question — how these rules would have performed on that data — and nothing more.
Backtests fail people in predictable ways: bad or incomplete data, ignoring spread and slippage, and above all overfitting — tuning parameters until the past looks perfect. A beautiful backtest is a starting point for skepticism, not proof.
