What Backtesting does

Backtesting helps you run and judge strategy backtests on Superior Trade, including window selection, sample-size checks, parameter sweeps, walk-forward validation, and zero-trade diagnosis. Use it when deciding whether a result is trustworthy or worth iterating on.

Backtesting is cataloged under Quality on DirSkills. Backtesting comes from a repository tagged agent-skills, ai-agents, algorithmic-trading, backtesting and equities.

README

Excerpt

Backtesting Best Practices

Read ../../references/unified-runtime.md for the shared API lifecycle. Submit every run with POST /runtime/backtests; creation queues it, so there is no separate start request. Use the framework and venue fields defined by GET /openapi.json and the relevant venue skill. This page is about the judgment calls — picking a window that means something, telling signal from noise in the result, and knowing when to give up vs. iterate.

The trade-count bar (sample size first)

Trade count is the single most important number on a result page. Look at it before PnL, before Sharpe, before win rate.

This is the opening of the README. Read the full README on GitHub.
