Backtest your strategies against years of historical data

Backtesting Methodology

CandleSight runs your strategy against 10+ years of historical forex data to show you exactly how it would have performed. Every backtest includes these key metrics:

Equity Curve

Visual representation of how your account balance would have changed over time. Spot drawdowns, recovery periods, and growth phases at a glance.

Win Rate

Percentage of trades that were profitable. Important context: a 40% win rate can still be profitable with the right risk/reward ratio.

Profit Factor

Gross profit divided by gross loss. A profit factor above 1.0 means the strategy is profitable overall. Above 1.5 is considered strong.

Maximum Drawdown

The largest peak-to-trough decline in account value. Critical for understanding how much pain you'd need to endure during losing streaks.

Sharpe Ratio

Risk-adjusted return measuring excess return per unit of volatility. Higher is better—above 1.0 is good, above 2.0 is excellent.

Trade Analysis

Every simulated trade is recorded with entry, exit, P&L, and duration. Filter by instrument, direction, or time period to find patterns.

What Can the Trading Agent Do?

The Trading Agent is powered by Claude (Anthropic) and has direct access to your trading data. No copy-pasting or manual entry—just ask questions and get answers based on your actual trades.

"Build me a strategy that enters on RSI oversold with EMA confirmation"

"Why did my strategy underperform in March?"

"What patterns appear in my losing trades?"

"Compare my win rate on EUR/USD vs GBP/USD by session"

How tokens work: Each AI interaction uses tokens based on complexity. Simple questions use fewer tokens than deep analysis. Your monthly allocation refreshes each billing cycle, and you can always see your remaining balance in the app.
