What our users say

“I have been testing and using Vestinda since the beginning of Private Beta and I adopted it. It makes me gain time in terms of programming and it is very easy to connect my strategy to my broker. Highly recommend!”

Sajid LhessaniAlgorithmicTradingbySajid

“I discovered Vestinda just when I was thinking about writing my own tool for automating trades, and it turned out to be way above what I could have done by myself. Some of the features worth mentioning are the backtesting feature (so you can easily finetune your strategies), the support for different exchanges, easy to use interface with a comprehensive dashboard and of course the huge number of technical indicators available for defining strategies. From my point of view, it’s a complete product for someone who wants to trade without being always there.”

Stefan PopescuSoftware Engineer

“Vestinda is easy to use, the possibilities are endless and you can easily start building effective automated trading systems. At first I thought Vestinda is a simple tool that you can play around for fun but once I really got to understand the details and abilities of the platform I quickly realised that this is no joke, the team has thought of everything and Vestinda is like no other platform in its field. Backtesting strategies, using trailing stop, calculating take-profit and stop-loss and so much more with just a few clicks is kind of a dream come true.”

Faraz Hossein Khani Algorithmic trading programmer

“I tried out Vestinda, and I have to say it is soooo pretty looking and intuitive! All UI controls are absolutely clear for me. I created my first strategy and started backtesting in minutes, literally. Great! I think this might be the perfect tool for beginner investors.”

FAQ

For how long should I backtest a trading strategy?

It depends on the number of trades generated by your trading strategy. If only a few trades are made every month, it means the strategy is a long term one, so you should backtest on a longer period in order to have relevant results. However, we advise you to backtest the strategy on multiple periods of different lengths, to get a proper view on the performance of your strategy.

How many backtest can I run monthly?

We have a daily limit for how many backtests can be run. For now, while we are offering all the features for free, you can run 10 backtests/day. Soon we will publish our price plans and the number of available backtests will depend on the price plan you choose.

How do you effectively backtest?

After you build a trading strategy, you have to test it on different assets and different periods. This is because you can be surprised by how a strategy with poor results on an asset is a really profitable one on another asset. In order to effectively backtest, it’s important to evaluate the results and iterate on your strategy based on them.

These are the most important performance statistics you should look at:

Number of trades: the lower the number of trades analysed in backtesting, the less reliable the result
Profit factor: this is the total profit divided by the total loss for the entire tested period. A profit factor bigger than 1 indicates a profitable strategy
Average holding time: this is the average length of time that a position was opened
Comparison with Buy and Hold: this shows you if the results of your strategy are better than what you’d have made by buying the asset and holding it through the backtested period

How reliable is backtesting?

Backtesting can give really useful insights on how a trading strategy might perform. It helps you invalidate very fast wrong assumptions, test technical indicators in just a few seconds and get analytics on how the strategy would have worked in the market.

If a strategy performs well in backtesting, it gives you the confidence to try it out in live trading. However, it’s important to be aware of the backtesting’s limitations as well. We’re all familiar with the message: “Past performance is no guarantee of future results”. This is true because market conditions can significantly change, so a strategy that was good in the past may not perform well in the future.

Also, you need to make sure that trading fees are included in the backtesting’s results and to understand that during live trading, strategy’s profitability can be affected by slippages and delayed order executions.
