Running a Backtest

Simulate your strategy on real NSE historical data before risking anything.

From the builder or a strategy card, click Backtest. Quondex runs a high-fidelity simulation on local NSE historical (Parquet) data.

Requirements

  • At least one instrument selected.
  • Historical data must exist for that symbol and period (NSE equities are supported). If none is found, the backtest reports "No historical data for the selected date range" rather than a silent empty result.

What it does

  • Loads OHLCV for your instruments and timeframe.
  • Computes your indicators and evaluates entry/exit rules bar by bar.
  • Applies your order config and risk limits.
  • Produces metrics, an equity curve and a full trade log.

Results are cached — re-running an unchanged strategy returns instantly. Change the logic and it re-runs.
