What is Manual Backtesting?

  • Manual backtesting is the process of testing a trading strategy using historical data to determine its effectiveness.
  • Traders manually simulate trades on past market data, analyzing entry and exit points, as well as risk management strategies.
  • It helps traders understand potential outcomes without risking real money, akin to playing a game of chess with the past.

  • Record the performance of the strategy by manually executing trades and documenting results.
  • Review trades to analyze what worked, what didn't, and why.
  • Alter the strategy based on findings to improve future performance.
