How to Backtest Trading Strategies in Trade Ideas (Simple 3-Step Process)

Step 1: Build your idea into Trade Ideas - discount code SOT15

Step 2: Hand backtest it using their historical date feature. Here’s a video of me (no volume) doing exactly that… it took 8 minutes to run through the entire year.

Step 3: If you need more data points, keep going back further.

Best, Kyle

Backtesting can really be that simple. You have an idea, so you build it into a filter within Trade Ideas and then you use the historical date feature. Don’t overcomplicate it!

Use discount code SOT15 at checkout for Trade Ideas to get the best offer.

Imagine how good you will be when you have 3-4 backtested playbooks built into filters and each fire maybe a few times per quarter!
