Selection

Select assets

Before automating a trading or investment strategy, the first step is to evaluate its past performance. This is called a backtest : a test of the strategy on historical price data. The goal is to understand how it would have reacted in different market conditions.

To perform a backtest of your strategy, start by selecting one or more assets on which you will test your strategy.

A table lists all available assets, sorted by categories: stocks, cryptos, currencies, ETFs, futures and indices.

Available asset categories

You can select up to 40 assets within a single backtest to see how your strategy would have behaved if you had traded multiple assets in parallel. It is of course possible to select assets from different categories.
