AI Backtester

Validate a strategy spec and prove whether its rules can ever fire. Costs nothing and touches no market data. Catches impossible conditions (for example an RSI threshold above 100) and strategies with no way to close a position.

Put 2 to 6 saved runs (yours or public ones) side by side: return, buy & hold, drawdown, Sharpe, trades and win rate. Runs over different markets or periods are listed, but the answer says so, because their numbers are not comparable.

Put several of your saved strategies together as a portfolio, each with a share of the capital, and see their combined result — equity, drawdown, Sharpe, each one's contribution, and how correlated they are. Combining saved backtests costs nothing. Pro.

Delete a portfolio. Its strategies and their results are kept. confirm must be true: ask the user first.

Delete one of your strategies. It disappears from your strategies, Browse and your profile, its forward test (if any) stops, and its results become private. This cannot be undone from here, so confirm must be true: ask the user first.

Stop forward testing and DISCARD the forward record. Promoting again starts from zero at the new date: a forward test cannot be paused and resumed, because that would let an unflattering period be edited out.

Copy someone else's public strategy into this account as a private strategy of its own, and run it once so it has a result (uses one backtest). Pro. Pass the id of one of its public runs, from search_strategies or a report link.

Account equity over time, downsampled to at most maxPoints samples. The default is deliberately small so the response fits comfortably in context.

Compare a strategy's backtest against how it has actually performed since being promoted. This is the number that matters: backtests are fitted to the past, forward results are not.

Show a portfolio: its latest run — the combined equity numbers, trades, and each strategy's part — or, if it has never run, its strategies' own saved results combined. Free.

The headline numbers of one saved run by id — yours, or anyone's public one — with a link to its full report. Use get_trades and get_equity_curve for the detail.

Fetch a strategy and its current spec by id.

REQUIRED reading before calling run_backtest or check_strategy for the first time. Returns the full strategy format: the JSON schema, every supported indicator with the range it can occupy, the condition operators, and worked examples.

Every trade from a saved run, in order.

List your portfolios, with how many strategies each holds.

List strategies saved to this account.

Search every market with history in the archive, by ticker or by coin: USD-M perpetual futures (the default) or spot. Worth calling before writing a strategy: Binance futures prefix small-cap coins by lot size, so PEPE trades as 1000PEPEUSDT there (PEPEUSDT on spot), and guessing the ticker finds nothing. Spot also has coins with no futures market, pairs quoted in BTC, ETH, FDUSD and others, and history from 2017.

Search a portfolio's allocations — some may go to 0 — for the best score on the first 70% of its last run, then show how that did on the last 30% (which the search never saw) next to the current allocations and equal ones. The last 30% is the honest number; say so. Needs a run first (run_portfolio). Free: it re-weights the run's results. Nothing changes unless apply is true — ask the user before applying. Objectives: avg_month, green_months, min_drawdown, fast_recovery (these two never at a lower return than now), sharpe, return_over_dd.

Search a strategy's declared params for the best combination, then report how much of that result is explained by the search itself. Searches on the first 60% of the window, chooses on the next 20%, and confirms on the last 20%, which it never looked at; rejects candidates that barely traded; and discounts the winning score by the number of attempts. Frequently concludes that the winner is not worth trading — that is the tool working, not failing. Uses 20 backtests from the quota, whatever its size.

Begin evaluating a saved strategy on candles it has never seen. A backtest can be tuned until it looks good; the future cannot be tuned. The gap between the two is the honest measure of whether a strategy actually works.

Show what a sweep would search before spending anything on it: the values per param, the total combinations, and any range that had to be clamped because it reached outside what the param can actually affect. Costs nothing.

Run a strategy against real historical data and return its performance. Nothing is saved or published unless save is set — a backtest is a question, not a publication. Call get_strategy_spec_rules first if you have not already. If exactly this — same rules, settings and period, over months that have finished — was saved before (by this account, or publicly), that result comes back and no backtest is used.

Run every strategy in a portfolio over the same dates and show the combined result. The money is split by the allocations; each strategy trades its slice with its own current rules, position size and leverage (a fixed amount per trade is kept in proportion to its slice); the strategies themselves are not changed. Uses one backtest per strategy (none for a result already made over finished months). Capital or dates given here are used for this run and not saved; the dates default to the first day all its markets have data, to the start of this month.

Search public backtest results. Sorted by Sharpe ratio by default, not raw profit: ranking by return alone puts the most overfit result on top. Results with fewer than minTrades trades are excluded, because a handful of trades cannot distinguish skill from luck.

Rename a portfolio, or replace its strategies and their shares (give the whole list: it replaces the old one).

Rename one of your strategies, or change who can see it. Making it private takes it and every result it saved off Browse and your profile (Pro); making it public puts them back. To change its rules, run a backtest with the new spec and save.strategyId.

Confirm the API key is valid and report the current plan and weekly backtest quota. Worth calling first in a conversation so later failures are not a surprise.
