Search millions of backtests
We ran a mind-boggling amount of backtests, and we are giving them all to you. Search, filter, and rank millions of backtests for several popular symbols and strategies. Filter performance based on annual return, Sharpe ratio, max drawdown, and more. Quickly see the days to expiration and strike deltas for each leg, along with other entry criteria like spread / stock. Explore different stop losses and profit targets, along with various entry triggers like VIX, SMV, 14-day RSI, IV Percentile, and Slope Percentile.
Create custom backtests
The same backtesting engine used to test millions of strategies is also available for you to use on your own custom strategies. With end-of-day data going back to 2007 for over 5,000 symbols, we have everything you need to start rigorously testing your ideas. You can backtest any type of bullish, bearish, or neutral strategy, include calendars, butterflies, and condors. Included in the backtest parameters are the standard entry and exit criteria, as well as hundreds of proprietary indicators.
Browse featured backtests
The Featured Backtests tab shows you the top performing backtests (sorted by best return on risk) whose entry triggers match the current environment. This is a great way to see what is working right now and to get ideas for your own backtests. We update this table every 10 minutes during the trading day.
