What is Backtesting?
Backtesting is the process of assessing the performance of a trading or investment strategy by applying it to historical market data to simulate how it would have performed in the past. This evaluation helps traders and investors understand the potential profitability, risk, and effectiveness of their strategies before implementing them in real-world trading environments.

LEARN PAPER & LIVE TRADING
What is PAPER TRADING & Live Trading?
Paper trading is commonly used by novice traders to gain experience, test strategies, and understand market dynamics before live trading. Experienced traders also use it to refine strategies or explore new ideas without risking real capital. Live trading involves using real money to buy and sell assets in financial markets, aiming for profit. It's real-time and carries financial risk, directly impacting the trader's account balance based on trade performance.
