Things worth knowing

  • Backtests use OHLCV candle data — not tick data. Results at very short timeframes may not reflect real fill quality.
  • Spread is a flat constant. Real spreads vary with liquidity and time of day.
  • Backtesting doesn't account for slippage beyond the configured spread.
  • Past backtest performance is not a guarantee of future live results.
