The platform is entering its public phase after several months of development and is aimed at anyone who wants to base their trading decisions on data rather than gut feeling.
Why Backtest at All?
Every trading strategy sounds plausible at first glance. "Cross the moving average and buy" – done. But how would that rule actually have performed on the S&P 500 over the past ten years? On a gold ETF? On EUR/USD?
Backtesting answers exactly that question: How would a strategy have performed historically – and would I have done better than plain Buy & Hold?
That's exactly what the Backtesting Arena is for.
Who Is This For?
The platform is built for anyone who doesn't want to trade on gut feeling:
Stock and ETF traders who'd rather test systematically than speculate
Investors who want to know if their strategy actually beats the market
Beginners who want to understand how indicators like RSI, SMA or MACD actually work
Experienced traders who want to layer filters like ATR volatility or trend filters onto their strategies
No coding required. Configure, click, read the results.
What Can the Backtesting Arena Do?
Backtesting across five asset classes with nine built-in strategies: RSI/SMA Cross, Golden Cross, Stochastic RSI, OBV-MACD, EMA Trend Bias, WMA Trend and more. Plus Buy & Hold and Dollar-Cost Averaging as reference benchmarks.
Live Alerts via email whenever a strategy generates a signal.
Signal Dashboard shows at a glance whether configured strategies are currently on BUY, SELL or HOLD.
Strategy Insights – which strategy is currently performing best on which asset? Aggregated community data.
Market Pulse with market-cycle indicators and sentiment analysis for the big picture.
Filters to refine strategies: Min. Profit Guard, 200 WMA, ATR Volatility – combinable with any strategy.
