product / backtests

What would have happened if you'd traded differently.

Two tools for one job: a backtest from a file and a 'What if' lab on your real trades.

A backtest: the study, its metrics and the review

A test in separate software never meets your trading.

The idea drew a pretty curve and stayed in that software. How you actually trade it lives in the journal in another window, and nobody measures the gap between plan and practice.

a curve on history isn't a result yet

How it works here

The test runs on your trades, and the gap becomes a number.

The same engine as live trading

A backtest is stored as a named set of trades marked 'study'. Analytics computes it with the same formulas as your real trades.

Studies never mix with reality

A backtest is excluded from every live metric. To see its numbers, you pick the study explicitly.

Price action is never invented

The lab knows entry, exit, stop, target and how far price travelled during the trade. What the journal can't know is marked 'unknown', and the count of those trades is always shown.

The 'What if' lab

Levers on the left, consequences on the right. Levers work across the accounts you pick, and the result shows as a curve, metrics, by month, by account and per trade with a reason.

  • By my own rules: a shadow account without the breaks
  • No breakeven, cut losses at 1R, target ×1.5
  • A day stop with a pause, and one risk on every trade
  • Each lever's contribution on its own line
What if: the levers, the before/after curve and each lever's share

Hypotheses the engine tests itself

The engine looks at your trades and finds an observation, for example: price rarely goes against you beyond 40% of the stop. A scenario follows from it, stop ×0.5, and the engine computes it in money right away.

  • Observation and test in numbers, no model advice
  • How many trades are affected and how many unknown
  • A hypothesis on a small sample is marked weak
  • One click turns a hypothesis into a lever
Hypotheses: the observation, the scenario and the result in money

A backtest from any file

Export trades from FX Replay, Notion, TradeZella or your own spreadsheet. Columns are recognised by meaning, and the study is computed with the same formulas as live trading.

  • Several studies, each under its own name
  • Sample halves: do they agree or diverge
  • An AI review on the computed numbers
  • A backtest never enters live metrics

Where it differs

Tick replay and intraday simulators exist in other software; we don't have them. We test the idea on your real record: what your own rules, a day stop or a different target would have given on the trades you already made.

Check it yourself

Switch on the 'By my own rules' lever. On the right you get the before/after curve, the difference in every metric and the list of trades with the reason each changed.

The order

From an empty screen to the first review

Pick a question

'What if I'd kept my rules?' or 'What if the target were further?'. Ready levers cover the common questions.

Run it on your trades

The engine recomputes the trades and shows how many were affected and how many are unknown.

Compare before and after

Curves, metrics and trades side by side. A finding with a third of trades unknown reads differently from one with three.

What it does not do

What this module does not do

  • There's no tick replay and no intraday simulator.
  • There's no quote database of our own: a backtest is as good as the file.
  • The journal doesn't know what happened after you exited, and those trades are marked 'unknown'.

Questions

The things that stand in the way

Where do you get quotes?

The lab works on your trades, a backtest on the file you bring. Replay takes daily candles from a free, delayed source, and the screen says so.

Will this replace TradingView or FX Replay?

No. Those draw and replay the chart; here the idea meets your real record. You can load an FX Replay export here as a backtest.

What does 'unknown' mean?

The trade closed at its target, and with a ×2 target price might have got there or turned. The journal doesn't know. You choose how to count those: as they were, at zero, or as a full stop.

Is a model involved in the maths?

No. The lab and the hypotheses are pure functions under tests. A model can only review the finished result.

A test that meets your record

The gap between plan and practice is what matters, and here it's computed on your trades.
