Crypto Backtesting Platform for Trading Strategies
Test trading strategies against Binance Spot historical OHLCV before deploying as automated bots. Review performance with detailed metrics, fees, and slippage.
What data powers backtests?
All Algonney backtests and Strategy Boost runs use Binance Spot historical OHLCV. The engine uses closed 1-minute candles and resamples them to the selected timeframe.
Read the full backtesting methodologyWhat changes between a backtest and live trading?
Backtest results will differ from live trading because the historical dataset is Binance Spot while live bots trade perpetual futures. Basis, funding, liquidity, fees, slippage, latency, order-book depth, and exchange conditions can change results.
What Is Crypto Backtesting?
Crypto backtesting is the process of testing a trading strategy against historical market data to see how it would have performed in the past. Instead of risking real capital on an untested idea, backtesting lets you evaluate strategy performance using historical OHLCV candle data, realistic fees, slippage, and other conditions before going live. It is a research tool — not a guarantee of future results.

Risk Disclaimer

Strategy performance in backtests can differ from live results due to slippage, liquidity, latency, and changing market conditions. Every strategy should be monitored carefully after deployment.
