Once a portfolio has been created, a strategy configured, and portfolio settings selected, the portfolio can be backtested.
To backtest a portfolio:

  • Open Portfolio Trader window.
  • Click the Backtesting button on the toolbar, or
  • Select Portfolio in the main menu and then select Run BackTesting.


Backtesting a portfolio will generate a Portfolio Performance Report that will be displayed in a separate window.

A description for each performance measure can be found in the Report.
