About TradeTestr

TradeTestr is a free CFD backtesting platform built on a simple principle: traders should know whether their strategy works before they risk real capital.

The platform was created after 46 days of automated CFD trading on a demo account. The result? A net loss of $323.45 across 99 trades with a 35% win rate. The strategies weren't random — they were based on established technical indicators (EMA crossovers, RSI momentum, Donchian breakouts). But without backtesting first, there was no way to know they wouldn't hold up in live markets.

That experience became TradeTestr. Instead of selling trading signals or promising returns, we built a tool that shows you the raw data. Run your strategy against years of historical prices. See the win rate, the drawdown, the Sharpe ratio, every trade. If the strategy loses money in backtesting, it'll probably lose money in live trading. If it wins in backtesting, it still might lose in live trading — but at least you're starting with evidence, not hope.

What Makes Us Different

Most backtesting tools fall into two categories: expensive platforms that cost $50-$200/month, or free tools that show fake results to push you toward a broker. TradeTestr is neither.

✓
Free, no login. No account, no subscription, no "upgrade to see results." Everything is accessible from the backtester page.
✓
Honest statistics. We show strategies that lose. If your backtest returns -40%, that's what we display. No filtering, no spin.
✓
Real risk management. Stop-loss, take-profit, trailing stop, risk percentage — all configurable per backtest. We don't hide the risk controls behind a paywall.
✓
Broker directory, not broker recommendations. We list 20 brokers with factual data (regulation, platform type, leverage, instruments). We don't tell you which one to choose — we give you the data to decide.

How We Make Money

TradeTestr earns commission through affiliate agreements with some brokers listed in our directory. When a user opens an account through a link on our platform, the broker pays us a referral fee.

This never affects backtesting results. The backtester runs on historical market data — broker affiliate relationships have zero influence on win rates, P/L, or any other statistic. The broker directory uses factual data (regulation status, platform types, minimum deposits) — not affiliate-driven rankings.

Who Built This

TradeTestr was built by a team that spent 46 days running automated CFD trading strategies and discovered what most traders eventually learn: without backtesting, you're gambling. The strategy engine is based on real trading code tested on a live demo account — not theoretical models from a textbook.

The platform is continuously improved. New strategies, instruments, and features are added regularly. If you have feedback or a feature request, we'd like to hear from you.
