Is there a limit to the number of backtests I can run?
Yes. You can currently run up to 5 backtests per day in FYERS Automate.
The daily limit applies to every backtest you start. Once you reach the limit, you must wait until it resets before you can run another backtest.
Note: A backtest counts towards your daily limit as soon as it starts. If you cancel it before the results are generated, it is still counted as one of your 5 daily backtests.
What if…
| Scenario | Solution |
|---|
| I have already run 5 backtests today | You cannot start another backtest until the daily limit resets. |
| I cancel a backtest before the results are generated | The backtest still counts towards your daily limit because it was already started. |
| I need to test multiple strategy changes | Each new backtest counts towards the daily limit. Plan your changes before running another backtest. |
| I only edit the slippage after a backtest is completed | Updating only the slippage recalculates the existing result and does not create a new backtest.
