Backtest Strategy

backtest_strategy

Read-only

Backtest a rule-based strategy on TraderWAI historical 1-minute data and get every trade plus a summary (win rate, total R, drawdown). It uses the SAME rules and engine as create_conditional_order, so a rule that looks good can be turned into a live conditional order. Pure calculation on the server, no AI: use it whenever the user asks to backtest or "how would this have worked" — do not compute backtests yourself from get_ohlc candles. Levels can be daily references so the rule works every day: {"ref":"session_high","session":"asia"} (asia 00:00-07:00, london 07:00-16:00, new_york 13:00-21:00 UTC), {"ref":"range_high","start":"00:00","end":"06:00"}, {"ref":"prev_day_low"}; the rule is armed each day once its levels are known. Example — "buy EUR/USD when it breaks the Asian high": symbol EUR_USD, conditions [{"type":"close_above","timeframe":"M15","level":{"ref":"session_high","session":"asia"}},{"type":"time_window","start":"07:00","end":"12:00"}], trade {"side":"buy","stop":{"type":"level","ref":{"ref":"session_low","session":"asia"}},"target":{"type":"rr","value":2},"closeAt":"20:00"}. Example — "sell gold when it sweeps the Asian high": conditions [{"type":"sweep_above","timeframe":"M15","level":{"ref":"session_high","session":"asia"},"maxCandles":2}], trade {"side":"sell","stop":{"type":"wick","bufferPips":20},"target":{"type":"rr","value":2}}. Indicators and trend filters: any level can be {"ref":"indicator","indicator":"sma|ema|rsi|atr|highest|lowest","timeframe":"D1","period":50}, {"ref":"price"}, {"ref":"day_open"} or {"ref":"day_high","daysAgo":2}; combine them with compare (e.g. {"type":"compare","left":{"ref":"price"},"op":"above","right":{"ref":"indicator","indicator":"ema","timeframe":"D1","period":50}}) and candle_direction (e.g. yesterday bullish). Indicators use closed candles only. Example — "buy gold on the first retest of a bullish M15 FVG in London": conditions [{"type":"fvg_retest","timeframe":"M15","direction":"bullish","maxCandles":20},{"type":"time_window","start":"07:00","end":"12:00"}], trade {"side":"buy","stop":{"type":"wick","bufferPips":10},"target":{"type":"rr","value":2}} (the wick stop goes beyond the gap's far edge). Limit entries and time exits: trade.entry {"type":"limit","at":{"type":"fvg","point":"midpoint"},"expiryMinutes":60} waits for price to come back to the limit (unfilled signals are reported), trade.maxMinutes closes after N minutes, and the target can be "none" with a time exit. Example — "when a bearish M15 FVG forms on gold, sell limit at its midpoint, stop above the gap, 2R or close after 2 hours": conditions [{"type":"fvg_formed","timeframe":"M15","direction":"bearish"}], trade {"side":"sell","entry":{"type":"limit","at":{"type":"fvg","point":"midpoint"},"expiryMinutes":60},"stop":{"type":"wick","bufferPips":20},"target":{"type":"rr","value":2},"maxMinutes":120}. Example — "buy the break and retest of today's 08:00-10:00 UTC range high": conditions [{"type":"retest","timeframe":"M15","direction":"up","level":{"ref":"range_high","start":"08:00","end":"10:00"},"maxCandles":10}], trade {"side":"buy","stop":{"type":"wick","bufferPips":5},"target":{"type":"rr","value":2}} (the wick stop goes below the retest candle; same rule and result as a live conditional). A limit entry at a level can be shifted with trade.entry.at.pips (positive above, negative below the level). COSTS: costs {"spreadPips","slippagePips","commissionPerLot" (USD, gold/silver/USD forex) or "commissionPips"} are charged on buys AND sells and the result shows R gross and net (spreadPips alone works the same). Always add realistic costs for strategies with small stops (M1/M5). RESULT DETAIL: every trade has its stop size in pips, MFE and MAE in R (how far it went for / against before closing), and the summary breaks the result down by month, by halves of the period, by weekday and entry hour, with profit factor and how many trades reached +1R…+4R: use it to choose the target and stop instead of running one backtest per variant; allTrades:true lists every trade (up to 300). STOP AT THE GAP: trade.stop {"type":"fvg","edge":"far","bufferPips":30} puts the stop beyond the far edge of the fvg_retest/fvg_formed gap, and "edge":"pattern" beyond the high/low of the three candles that form it; with a limit entry at the far edge use "pattern" (a far-edge stop would sit right next to the entry). trade.minStopPips/maxStopPips skip signals with a stop outside that size (counted). MANAGEMENT: trade.management {"breakevenAtR":1,"partials":[{"atR":1,"closePct":50}]} moves the stop to entry at +1R and closes half at +1R. LOCAL MARKET TIME: time_window, range_high/range_low and trade.closeAt accept "timezone" (e.g. Europe/London, America/New_York), so a London 08:00-11:00 window is measured at the same market hour in summer and winter. MARKET STRUCTURE: swings, BOS/CHoCH, order blocks, flip zones (broken base), Fibonacci of the last impulse, FVGs and equal highs/lows are detected candle by candle without look-ahead (see the condition types). Example — "sell gold on the first retest of a bearish order block + Fibonacci 0.5-0.618 + broken base overlap on M15, rejection candle on M5, bearish day, stop above the zone, target the last swing low, exit if no new low in 6 M5 candles": conditions [{"type":"bos","timeframe":"M15","direction":"bearish"},{"type":"confluence","direction":"bearish","zones":[{"zone":"order_block","timeframe":"M15"},{"zone":"flip_zone","timeframe":"M15"},{"zone":"fib_zone","timeframe":"M15","from":0.5,"to":0.618}],"min":2,"trigger":"rejection","confirmTimeframe":"M5","maxTouches":3},{"type":"compare","left":{"ref":"price"},"op":"below","right":{"ref":"day_open"}}], trade {"side":"sell","stop":{"type":"zone","edge":"far","bufferPips":20},"target":{"type":"level","ref":{"ref":"swing_low","timeframe":"M15"}},"management":{"exitIfNoProgress":{"candles":6,"timeframe":"M5"}}}. Results are broken down by zone / combination. Selective setups give few trades: use long periods, and sensitivity:true reruns the rule with neighbouring parameters (swing strength ±1, target ±0.5R) to see if the result holds. TRAILING: trade.trailing true moves the stop behind price at the initial stop distance (same rule as trailing: true on live orders). Not supported: other chart patterns (head and shoulders, triangles…), news, ATR or candle trailing stops. History available: 2 years of 1-minute candles (since 31 Oct 2024) on forex, gold, silver, crypto, indices and oil. Plan limits: Free = last 14 days and 5 backtests per day; Plus = 6 months and 20 per day; Trader = 1 year and 50 per day; Max = all history, unlimited. One backtest covers at most 1 year (2 years on Max) and up to 2000 trades: split longer periods. Works with the market closed (weekends) and without a broker account.

A4.7/5.0

Behavior5/5

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true and destructiveHint=false, but the description adds substantial behavioral context beyond them: server-side pure calculation with no AI, available history, plan limits, cost simulation, result breakdowns, sensitivity checks, unsupported features, and behavior with markets closed. No contradiction with the annotations is present.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness3/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

The description is front-loaded with purpose and usage, but it is extremely long and dense, with repeated examples and duplicated guidance across sections. The length is partly justified by the complex nested schema, but it is not concise and could be tightened without losing key information.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness5/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

Given the complex nested schema, lack of an output schema, and wide range of condition types, the description is highly complete. It explains return details, cost treatment, plan limits, unsupported features, and operational constraints that an agent needs in order to invoke the tool correctly.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters4/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema description coverage is 100%, so the schema already carries parameter semantics. The description adds meaningful value beyond it through concrete examples for levels, sessions, indicators, entries, stops, targets, management, costs, and timezone handling, though some of this repeats structured schema descriptions rather than introducing entirely new semantics.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose5/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description states a specific verb and resource: backtest a rule-based strategy on TraderWAI historical 1-minute data, returning every trade plus a summary. It explicitly distinguishes the tool from create_conditional_order and get_ohlc by saying rules are shared with live conditionals and that the agent should not compute backtests from candles itself.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines5/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

It gives explicit when-to-use guidance: 'use it whenever the user asks to backtest or how would this have worked' and a clear when-not alternative: 'do not compute backtests yourself from get_ohlc candles.' It also explains how backtest rules map to create_conditional_order live orders and notes plan/history limits that affect when the tool is applicable.

Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
