How does historical evaluation backtesting work?

Choose hypothetical account objectives and risk limits, then review reconstructed equity against them. One-minute observations can miss intraminute breaches, and incomplete data can limit the result. A backtest does not certify compliance with an evaluation framework.

Back to all FAQs

Choose a hypothetical framework

Select a hypothetical account size, account objectives, daily maximum loss, overall maximum loss and a static or end-of-day trailing drawdown method. The software reconstructs historical account equity from eligible trades and available one-minute closing prices.

For this historical test, the selected daily loss percentage is applied to the initial hypothetical account size. That monetary allowance stays fixed during the test. The overall loss-floor calculation is evaluated separately under the method you select.

Understand what each drawdown method means

A static loss floor stays fixed from the initial account size. An EOD trailing floor can move upward after qualifying end-of-day equity highs. This is different from an intraday trailing calculation, and it may not reproduce another provider’s exact program conditions.

Treat the outcome as historical evidence

A one-minute close can miss a breach that occurred within the minute. Missing or invalid historical data can leave a review incomplete, so an apparently unbreached threshold is not a certification of compliance.

Historical Evaluation is an analytical feature of Trader Intelligence. Its numerical results do not determine an official evaluation outcome or guarantee future trading results.
