Introducing Crypto Spot Backtesting
We are excited to announce a major update to the Backtestx engine: full support for Crypto Spot markets. This has been our most requested feature, and we're thrilled to finally roll it out to our Professional users.
What's New?
- Top 50 Assets: Access historical data for the top 50 cryptocurrencies by market cap, including BTC, ETH, SOL, and more.
- 24/7 Market Structure: Unlike Forex or Stocks, Crypto markets never sleep. Our replay engine now seamlessly handles 24/7 continuous data.
- Volatile Conditions: Test your strategies against historic volatility events like the 2021 bull run or the 2022 crash.
Why Backtest Altcoins?
Altcoins often follow Bitcoin but with amplified volatility. Backtesting allows you to see how your strategy handles standard deviation moves that are rare in traditional markets. If your risk management can survive an altcoin winter simulation, it's robust.
Getting Started
To access the new data, simply open your dashboard, click "Select Symbol," and choose the new "Crypto" tab. The data is available immediately for all Pro and Professional plan subscribers.
