Backtest

The Backtest feature in TradeVed allows traders to evaluate the performance of their strategies using historical data. Whether you're refining an options play, a futures breakout model, or testing a custom equity setup — this tool helps validate your logic before execution.

What You Can Backtest​

TradeVed supports backtesting across multiple asset classes:

  • Stocks
  • Options
  • Futures
  • Any instrument available in the live market

If it can be traded, it can be tested.

Strategy Setup​

Users can choose how to define their strategy:

  • Visual Builder: Use a user-friendly UI to choose from preset strategies and customize inputs (e.g., Buy when RSI < 30)
  • Custom Logic Input: Input your own conditions to simulate a personalized strategy

Both options are flexible and designed to give you maximum control over your setup.

Data & Timeframe​

TradeVed supports:

  • Real Historical Market Data (not synthetic)
  • Full control over custom date ranges → Example: Jan 2020 to Dec 2022 for a two-year test

This gives you the ability to test performance in specific market conditions — bullish, bearish, or sideways.

Output Metrics​

Once the test is run, the system displays:

  • Profit / Loss over time
  • Greek analysis (for options strategies)
  • Payoff structure
  • Key statistics such as:
    • Win ratio
    • Risk-reward ratio
    • Max drawdown
    • Capital utilization

All visualized clearly to inform your next steps.

From Test to Execution​

If your strategy performs well:

  • You can push it live using our Strategy to Algo feature
  • Requires an active broker connection
  • TradeVed will handle conversion and execution routing

Why Backtest Matters​

Backtesting helps you:

  • Validate assumptions and logic using real data
  • Avoid untested strategies in live environments
  • Prepare for automated deployment confidently

In short, it turns your trading idea into a data-backed decision.
