BackTesting

I’ve heard the term Backtesting being thrown around loosely on these forums but dont understand what it means. Could someone enlighten me on this process and what it entails?

Thanks a bunch.

It means testing a trading system’s effectiveness by using past data. Back-testing :slight_smile:

Thanks for the reply EQ, but where do I get past data from?

You can simply scroll to the left on your chart. Go back as far as you can, then scroll right one candle at a time as you apply your entries- exits, etc.
