Step-by-Step Guide to Create a Backtesting Session:

  • You’ll see the backtesting page, showing either your sessions or the main page.

  • Click “Create Backtesting Session.”

  • Give your session a name (a title you can refer back to).

  • Add a description (to provide details about the session).

  • Select a playbook to link to this session or create a new one.

  • Choose the type (Future Backtesting is coming soon).

  • Select a symbol.

  • Enter your starting balance (the account balance for this session)

  • Set the date range (You can backtest as far back as 2014).

  • Finally, click “Create Session.”

Your new session will now appear on the backtesting page, ready for you to analyze.
