Backtesting

Backtesting - Simulating a trading robot’s performance on historical data. In cTrader this is done with a visual backtest engine that runs a cBot on past price data (bars or raw ticks) and reports results (equity curve, trades, stats). For example, cTrader offers a visual backtester where users can test cBots on historical data and see each simulated trade on a chart. Backtesting settings include the data source (tick or bar data), time range, initial balance, and commission.
