How do I view previous backtest results in Backtest History?
Backtest History in Automate lets you view previously run backtest results for a strategy. This is useful when you want to compare earlier results, review past configurations, or check different strategy versions created after changes.
Each time you change the time period or strategy workflow and run a new backtest, a new version is created, such as V1, V2, V3, and the result is saved in Backtest History.
Backtest History
To view previous results, open Automate and select Backtest History.
Backtest History shows the previously run backtest results for that strategy. You can use it to revisit older results instead of running the same backtest again.
Only slippage can be modified within an existing generated result. Changes to the time period or workflow require a new backtest, which creates a new version.
What if…
| Scenario | Solution |
|---|---|
| I want to view an older backtest | Open Backtest History and select the required result. |
| I changed the time period and ran another backtest | A new version is created and saved in Backtest History. |
| I changed the strategy workflow and ran another backtest | A new version is created and saved in Backtest History. |
| I only changed slippage in an existing result | The same result updates instantly without creating a new version. |
