Your Path to Market Intelligence
Backtesting Arena turns market noise into battle-tested market intelligence — every claim backtested, versioned and explainable. This is the six-step path from understanding the market to an informed decision. Each stage is open to explore, and each links the real tool plus the plan you need. Point-in-time · DSR · net of costs · live out-of-sample — evidence you can audit, never advice.
Understand the market
FreeKnow where you stand before you form an opinion.
Start with the current market state — the Bitcoin cycle position from a point-in-time 10-indicator score, the macro regime, and where the altcoin cycle sits. These are synthesized, explainable reads, not signals: every number links back to the data behind it.
Find a strategy
FreeSee what actually worked — net of costs, corrected for luck.
Browse the Edge Leaderboard and Edge Library: the strongest strategy-and-filter combinations by median CAGR, net of trading costs, with a Deflated-Sharpe-Ratio badge that penalises multiple testing. This is where you separate a real edge from an overfit backtest.
Test it yourself
FreeRun the backtest on real data — against an honest benchmark.
Pick an asset, a strategy, a timeframe, and see the full result: CAGR, win rate, drawdown and P&L — always measured against Average Buy & Hold across every entry point, not a cherry-picked start date. Crypto backtesting is free for everyone; guests can test BTCUSDT without an account.
Check robustness
ProDoes the edge survive scrutiny?
A single good backtest is not evidence. Strategy Insights aggregates thousands of runs to show whether an edge holds across assets and market regimes, how it looks net of costs, whether the 5 strategy filters help or hurt, and how it behaves under different volatility phases. If it only works in one place, you will see that here.
Stay on it
Free / ProLet the arena keep watching — you stay in control.
For signal-based strategies, an alert is your manual bot: an email or Telegram message the moment a signal goes live, on BUY as on SELL. Live Tracking then records how signals perform out-of-sample, in the open. No automated orders, no access to your account — what you do next is your call.
Go pro: AI & API
APIThe same journey, for machines.
Everything above is available to AI agents and your own code: an MCP connector for Claude and other assistants, a REST API, and x402 pay-per-call endpoints. Agents get the same proprietary, auditable evidence — DSR-corrected evaluations, point-in-time cycle scores, base-rate distributions — that is not reproducible from public market-data APIs or web search.
New here?
Follow steps 1–3 for free: read the market state, find a strategy on the leaderboard, then backtest it yourself. That alone answers “would this have worked?” on real data.
Going deeper?
Steps 4–6 are where the platform earns its keep: robustness across regimes and costs, alerts and out-of-sample tracking, and the same evidence exposed to AI agents through the API.
The path ends at an informed decision — never at a recommendation. Backtesting Arena delivers evidence, base rates and distributions for research and education. Historical results describe the past; they do not predict the future. This is not financial advice.
