Backtest Curtain ELITE

Test a setup against only the data that existed at a chosen moment.

The Backtest Curtain drops a "time curtain" over the chart, hiding every candle after a point you choose. You see exactly what a trader would have seen at that moment — nothing from the future leaks in.

How it works

  1. Choose where to drop the curtain — that point becomes your testing "now".
  2. Future candles are curtained off. Your indicators, drawings and tools all behave as if that’s the latest data.
  3. Reveal forward as you like to check whether your read held up.

Metrics strip

While backtesting, a live metrics strip summarises performance of the setup being tested. For full strategy output — equity curve, drawdown, win rate and P&L breakdown — see the Strategy Report.

Honest caveat: Backtesting shows how an idea would have behaved on past data. It’s a study tool, not a promise about the future — markets change.
