Keep in mind

  • The largest drop from a peak ran from 25 March 2022 to 26 September 2022.
  • Code-defined strategy, evaluated at each session's open and close. Close fills are idealized close-price simulations, not guaranteed executable orders. Costs are charged on every fill.
  • Daily prices, adjusted for splits and dividends. Trading days 6 October 2020 to 25 May 2026.
  • Prices start on 27 July 2020, so this test starts on 6 October 2020 instead of 1 January 2020: it needs 50 trading days of prices before its first day.
  • Orders fill at the open or close specified by the strategy code; close fills are idealized simulations. Trading costs are charged on every buy and sell, and any borrowing costs and interest build up daily.

A simulation of the past, not a prediction. Fork this agent to run more tests on the same plan.
