Compare strategies

Comparing strategies means holding assumptions steady and changing one thing at a time.

Compare On

  • same symbols
  • same time window
  • same timeframe
  • same fee/slippage assumptions
  • same cache/data source
  • same AI/ML mode if enabled

Use Multiple Views

Look at:

  • order count
  • win rate
  • net result
  • drawdown
  • risk/reward
  • skipped reasons
  • chart figures
  • runtime/backtest parity

Avoid

  • picking only the best symbol after the fact
  • optimizing too many parameters on one period
  • ignoring losing streaks and drawdown
  • comparing live fills against idealized historical fills without adjustment
