The Boom of Retail Trading

Why You Need to Backtest Your Trading Strategy

Manual or systematic analysis of the past performance of a trading strategy or concept is known as backtesting. By backtesting the strategy manually or by using backtesting software, a trader can determine whether the strategy is most likely a waste of time and money or if it shows promise and profitability across a variety of markets.
