Before you test a trading idea
Where should I start if I’m new to trading?
Start with the price action guide to learn the vocabulary of trends, levels, and confirmation. Write down the entry, exit, and risk rules of an idea before you test it. Use hypothetical capital while you learn.
Can I test every strategy in these guides on CandleChasers?
No. The builder supports daily stock strategies using its available indicators, comparisons, and exits. Intraday and options strategies require other data and tools. A Pine Script research baseline is an example to investigate, not proof that it exactly reproduces a source strategy.
What should I look at beyond total return?
Examine drawdown, losing streaks, the number of trades, trading costs, and the period tested. Compare different market conditions and read the execution assumptions. Choosing the best result after many variations can make a strategy appear stronger than it is.
Are my backtests private?
Confirmed tests can create public reports showing the strategy rules, settings, and hypothetical results. Do not include confidential information. Read our Privacy Policy before submitting a test.
