Free backtesting without hidden assumptions

Check the limits before choosing a free backtester

Start with the instrument, data history, bar resolution, number of strategies, supported order types, commission and slippage settings, and export format. A free backtesting website may be suitable for learning or a simple daily-bar test while being unsuitable for intraday fills, multi-asset portfolios, option contracts, or futures roll logic.

• Confirm the available symbols, dates, and timeframes.
• Check whether costs and order timing are configurable.
• Verify that trades and settings can be exported or recorded.

Separate free code help from a free simulation engine

Strategy code, market data, the backtest engine, optimization, and report analysis are separate layers. Pineify can help create Pine Script code and analyze a TradingView trade-list export, but TradingView runs the historical simulation. Do not choose a workflow based on the word “free” until each layer and its current plan limit are clear.

Use one reproducible baseline

Record the strategy version, symbol, timeframe, date range, commission, slippage, order settings, and platform version. Run that baseline before changing inputs. A repeatable modest test is more useful than an impressive result that cannot be reproduced after a plan, data, or setting change.
