Backtest your trading strategy without hindsight
Scrolling back through a chart shows you where price went, and that makes almost any setup look good. TradeMai replays the day forward instead, so you only see what you would have seen at the time and every decision counts.
Manual backtesting that feels like trading
Pick a market and a day, press play and trade it the way you would live: market or pending orders, a stop and a target, and the trade managed as it develops. Buys fill at the ask and sells at the bid, so the spread is part of the result.
What you can measure
Every trade is logged the moment it closes, so the numbers build up without a spreadsheet.
- Win rate and average R per trade
- Expectancy: what one trade is worth on average
- Maximum drawdown and the worst losing streak
- Results by day and an equity curve
- A full trade list you can export to CSV
A backtesting routine that holds up
A backtest is only as honest as the way it is run. A simple routine keeps it that way:
- Write your entry, stop, target and risk rules down before you start
- Choose a mix of days: trending, ranging and news-driven
- Trade every valid setup; skipping the uncomfortable ones flatters the result
- Review the numbers only after a meaningful sample of trades
- Change one rule at a time, then test again
Test across different market conditions
A setup that works in a trending week can fall apart in a quiet range. Replay Forex pairs, Gold, stock indices, energy and crypto on the kinds of days that matter to your strategy, including the ones around big economic releases.
