How to Backtest PROPERLY

This video explains how to backtest your trading strategy step by step so that you get the best possible results from your backtest. Most people make the mistake of backtesting the wrong time of day. testing your strategy at various hours of the day instead of only backtesting when you are actively trading.
Backtesting allows a trader to simulate a trading strategy using historical data to generate results and analyze risk and profitability before risking any actual capital.
A well-conducted backtest that yields positive results assures traders that the strategy is fundamentally sound and is likely to yield profits when implemented in reality. In contrast, a well-conducted backtest that yields suboptimal results will prompt traders to alter or reject the strategy.
Particularly complicated trading strategies, such as strategies implemented by automated trading systems, rely heavily on backtesting to prove their worth, as they are too arcane to evaluate otherwise.
As long as a trading idea can be quantified, it can be backtested. Some traders and investors may seek the expertise of a qualified programmer to develop the idea into a testable form. Typically, this involves a programmer coding the idea into the proprietary language hosted by the trading platform.
The programmer can incorporate user-defined input variables that allow the trader to "tweak" the system. An example of this would be in the simple moving average (SMA) crossover system.
The Ideal Backtesting Scenario
The ideal backtest chooses sample data from a relevant time period of a duration that reflects a variety of market conditions. In this way, one can better judge whether the results of the backtest represent a fluke or sound trading.
The historical data set must include a truly representative sample of stocks, including those of companies that eventually went bankrupt or were sold or liquidated. The alternative, including only data from historical stocks that are still around today, will produce artificially high returns in backtesting.
A backtest should consider all trading costs, however insignificant, as these can add up over the course of the backtesting period and drastically affect the appearance of a strategy’s profitability. Traders should ensure that their backtesting software accounts for these costs.

Hello sir , I watch your all videos including those where you are helping poor girls with their plumbing issues. You are really gem
I got that joke. Good one
😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Hahaha, nice
😂😂😂😂 good one😂
I am doing okay with my trading, but I want to be better. I have watched a few backtesting videos before this one, and they are overwhelming to follow. Yours was simple and straightforward. No need to code or analyze complicated data. Thank you for this, Sir. It feels like having access to a trading mentor. Bless you!
Great to hear!
Just found another golden channel right here. Keep it up brother.
What are the other channels?
@@PushinP911 yeah😂 I came for that too
The best back testing video I've come across. I did not back test because I didn't fully understand the real bullet points of back testing. This video cleared up all those questions and I will now begin back testing starting this Sunday. You've definitely earned another follower thank you for the information and insight
thank you much
Thanks for visitiong! Check out my latest video ruclips.net/video/1XQKJ_MoFr4/видео.html
I am newbie. I think this video is a gold mine. Every new trader should watch this. Haven´t seen this back testing advise in anyone. Thanks!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Powerful presentation in a short space of time one has gained much out of your presentation, you presentations are out of this world most African mentors want you to pay exorbitant fees for such content, but here you are giving it for free God bless you my Brother.
Thank you 💝💝
Dude 4:30-5:00 your the ONLY person I've seen in years say that and I agree with it 1,000,000% these dudes show the charts saying you could get in here and you would win as if theyre describing the events they KNOW is goona happen even though the chart has already played it self out, its ridiculous lol earned a sub for that
Thank you I appreciate that
This video literally helped me become a better trader. I learned that 80 - 90 percent of my work is all testing and the rest is actually trading.
happy to hear it

Great to hear!
Newbie looking for how to do backtesting. This is exactly what I wanted to learn! Thank you so much, Arty!

Thank you
I totally like the video. It makes sense to me. There's no way I would wake up at 4 am to start trading. liked and subscribed

I get so much out of every single one of your videos. I know I'm getting ahead of myself, but I get so hyped up watching them thinking about maybe being able to help others with what I'm learning. Thanks for everything that you're doing Arty.
Hi Thomas, it's been 2 years since this comment, did you actually made any money from trading markets?

10 Trading Mistakes YOU NEED TO KNOW
ruclips.net/video/gcMKdkCdwdY/видео.html
Thanks a lot for your great explanation for the backtesting.
Most welcome!
Been binging a lot of trading and investing videos the last few months and I'm glad i found your channel. I appreciate the teaching style and the minimal amount of fluff in your videos, setting my goal to crush through most of your content and take notes. Then move onto paper trading.
I'm still a total noob, and i will be going through your library, but can anyone direct me to a good video that compares the different markets, like forex, stocks, options, and crypto, pros and cons, and why you may choose one over another as an intermediate or beginner level.
Anyway thanks again for the solid content
Best backtesting video out there. Fast, simple explanation really help me understand how to properly backtest. Realized I was doing it all wrong. Thanks!
We need more of these backtesting vids. This was EXCITING AF!!!!!!!!!!! WOOOOW!!!!!!!!
You have one of the best back testing video I have ever came across 🎉🎉
Thanks! 👍
I could watch you trade all day. Thanks for your videos!
Arty, thank you for the part in this video where you tell about the duration of back-testing/forward-testing. I have a strategy I have documented in detail with many days of past performance. I then have another excel sheet with forward testing. I also have taken and will continue to take time to identify confluences as we both know are necessary prior to trade entry. Thank you.
Thanks for sharing!
Love how you keep it simple, every time! Thanks Arty!
The best channel I've come across. 20 stars for you.
This is an AWESOME video, I was one who didn't like to backtest because I really didn't know what I was looking for and had no structure of what to do, but you made it so clear to understand. Now I have a guided view of what I am going to practice and mark the time sessions I am available and when I am up to trade my pairs. Thanks again!!
You're very welcome!
You saved me to make big mistake in backtesting
It just wow ✨
LOVE these kinds of videos, where we not only see what indicators you’re using, but also all the “behind the scenes” commentary on what you’re thinking and why you’re making the decisions you’re making. Would love to see more of these kinds of videos!
Also, the trade psychology was spot on: not forcing a trade, setting proper take profit and stop loss levels, and walking away, and even not trading on a given day. That, coupled with backtesting in a realistic timeframe (in which you would actually be trading). Brilliant! 🎯
Fire
This was a fantastic explanation of back-testing! Great job!
thank u :o
Very good one. I just recently added an indicator to mark my own trading times from 07:00 to 09:00
Thank you

First Back Testing video that actually makes sense.
You definitely have the best videos for trading, and I like how you delete scammy comments in your videos. Thank you, I'm personally a 22yr old Software Engineer and I want to eventually do this full time by the time I'm 26yrs of age, maybe even develop an algorithm using your strategies (with the help of machine learning), I trust a computer more than the human psyche
Thank you so much for the videos. I have been watching the beginner series all day and have learnt so much already. This one about backtesting during YOUR trading hours makes so much sense. Keep up the great work 😀
Thanks Arty, this is saving my life. Clears my doubts. You are awesome.
happy to help!

TOP 10 Day Trading Mistakes YOU NEED TO KNOW
ruclips.net/video/gcMKdkCdwdY/видео.html
Wish I had watched this earlier. Still in Demo mode and trying to figure out my strategy and process. My entry and exit. Just some FYI, open a chart and go to 1 HR. Go to indicators and find Weekdays, then go to settings and check all the days you want to trade and make each one a different color. Then go back as far as you want to back test and add your start and stop lines to each colored day. This makes it easier to put your trading hours in between horizontal lines on your chart.....Hope it helps.....
The weekday indicator did help. Thank you!
It’s been over a year? Any updates?
Bro thank you so much for this informative video. Love your channel
Glad you enjoy it!

Great video. I learnt something new today. Thank you.
I have been using an Indicator called "Sonarlab Sessions". This will show you when the Asian, London, and New York sessions start and end on the chart. For some reason it doesnt show the Australian session though. This makes it easy to know when each session begins and ends.
Alternatively, if you don't want to pay for the ability to backtest, you can just move to the left until the newer candles cut off on the right side of your screen, then move the graph slowly to the right as you need to to make decisions / trades. It's not as nice but still a works for someone on a budget.
👍
