<p>Backtesting will use the crypto-currencies (pairs) from your config file and load historical candle (OHCLV) data from <code>user_data/data/<exchange></code> by default.
|
|
If no data is available for the exchange / pair / timeframe combination, backtesting will ask you to download them first using <code>freqtrade download-data</code>.
|
|
For details on downloading, please refer to the <a href="../data-download/">Data Downloading</a> section in the documentation.</p>
|
|
<p>The result of backtesting will confirm if your bot has better odds of making a profit than a loss.</p>

<p class="admonition-title">Using dynamic pairlists for backtesting</p>
|
|
<p>Using dynamic pairlists is possible, however it relies on the current market conditions - which will not reflect the historic status of the pairlist.
|
|
Also, when using pairlists other than StaticPairlist, reproducability of backtesting-results cannot be guaranteed.
|
|
Please read the <a href="../configuration/#pairlists">pairlists documentation</a> for more information.</p>
|
|
<p>To achieve reproducible results, best generate a pairlist via the <a href="../utils/#test-pairlist"><code>test-pairlist</code></a> command and use that as static pairlist.</p>

|
|
<p>Sometimes your account has certain fee rebates (fee reductions starting with a certain account size or monthly volume), which are not visible to ccxt.
|
|
To account for this in backtesting, you can use the <code>--fee</code> command line option to supply this value to backtesting.
|
|
This fee must be a ratio, and will be applied twice (once for trade entry, and once for trade exit).</p>
|
|
<p>For example, if the buying and selling commission fee is 0.1% (i.e., 0.001 written as ratio), then you would run backtesting as the following:</p>
|
|
<div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><code>freqtrade<span class="w"> </span>backtesting<span class="w"> </span>--fee<span class="w"> </span><span class="m">0</span>.001

|
|
<div class="admonition note">
|
|
<p class="admonition-title">Note</p>
|
|
<p>Only supply this option (or the corresponding configuration parameter) if you want to experiment with different fee values. By default, Backtesting fetches the default fee from the exchange pair/market info.</p>

|
|
<p>Use the <code>--timerange</code> argument to change how much of the testset you want to use.</p>
|
|
<p>For example, running backtesting with the <code>--timerange=20190501-</code> option will use all available data starting with May 1<sup>st</sup>, 2019 from your inputdata.</p>

<h3 id="backtesting-report-table">Backtesting report table<a class="headerlink" href="#backtesting-report-table" title="Permanent link">¶</a></h3>
|
|
<p>The 1<sup>st</sup> table contains all trades the bot made, including "left open trades".</p>
|
|
<p>The last line will give you the overall performance of your strategy,
|
|
here:</p>
|
|
<div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><code>| TOTAL | 429 | 0.36 | 152.41 | 0.00762792 | 76.20 | 4:12:00 | 186 | 243 |
|
|
</code></pre></div>
|
|
<p>The bot has made <code>429</code> trades for an average duration of <code>4:12:00</code>, with a performance of <code>76.20%</code> (profit), that means it has
|
|
earned a total of <code>0.00762792 BTC</code> starting with a capital of 0.01 BTC.</p>
|
|
<p>The column <code>avg profit %</code> shows the average profit for all trades made while the column <code>cum profit %</code> sums up all the profits/losses.
|
|
The column <code>tot profit %</code> shows instead the total profit % in relation to allocated capital (<code>max_open_trades * stake_amount</code>).
|
|
In the above results we have <code>max_open_trades=2</code> and <code>stake_amount=0.005</code> in config so <code>tot_profit %</code> will be <code>(76.20/100) * (0.005 * 2) =~ 0.00762792 BTC</code>.</p>
|
|
<p>Your strategy performance is influenced by your buy strategy, your sell strategy, and also by the <code>minimal_roi</code> and <code>stop_loss</code> you have set.</p>
|
|
<p>For example, if your <code>minimal_roi</code> is only <code>"0": 0.01</code> you cannot expect the bot to make more profit than 1% (because it will sell every time a trade reaches 1%).</p>
|
|
<div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><code><span class="nt">"minimal_roi"</span><span class="p">:</span><span class="w"> </span><span class="p">{</span>
|
|
<span class="w"> </span><span class="nt">"0"</span><span class="p">:</span><span class="w"> </span><span class="mf">0.01</span>
|
|
<span class="p">},</span>
|
|
</code></pre></div>
|
|
<p>On the other hand, if you set a too high <code>minimal_roi</code> like <code>"0": 0.55</code>
|
|
(55%), there is almost no chance that the bot will ever reach this profit.
|
|
Hence, keep in mind that your performance is an integral mix of all different elements of the strategy, your configuration, and the crypto-currency pairs you have set up.</p>
|
|
<h3 id="sell-reasons-table">Sell reasons table<a class="headerlink" href="#sell-reasons-table" title="Permanent link">¶</a></h3>
|
|
<p>The 2<sup>nd</sup> table contains a recap of sell reasons.
|
|
This table can tell you which area needs some additional work (e.g. all or many of the <code>sell_signal</code> trades are losses, so you should work on improving the sell signal, or consider disabling it).</p>
|
|
<h3 id="left-open-trades-table">Left open trades table<a class="headerlink" href="#left-open-trades-table" title="Permanent link">¶</a></h3>
|
|
<p>The 3<sup>rd</sup> table contains all trades the bot had to <code>forcesell</code> at the end of the backtesting period to present you the full picture.
|
|
This is necessary to simulate realistic behavior, since the backtest period has to end at some point, while realistically, you could leave the bot running forever.
|
|
These trades are also included in the first table, but are also shown separately in this table for clarity.</p>
|
|
<h3 id="summary-metrics">Summary metrics<a class="headerlink" href="#summary-metrics" title="Permanent link">¶</a></h3>
|
|
<p>The last element of the backtest report is the summary metrics table.
|

It contains some useful key metrics about performance of your strategy on backtesting data.</p>

<h3 id="assumptions-made-by-backtesting">Assumptions made by backtesting<a class="headerlink" href="#assumptions-made-by-backtesting" title="Permanent link">¶</a></h3>
|
|
<p>Since backtesting lacks some detailed information about what happens within a candle, it needs to take a few assumptions:</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>Buys happen at open-price</li>
|
|
<li>Sell signal sells happen at open-price of the following candle</li>
|
|
<li>Low happens before high for stoploss, protecting capital first</li>
|
|
<li>ROI<ul>
|
|
<li>sells are compared to high - but the ROI value is used (e.g. ROI = 2%, high=5% - so the sell will be at 2%)</li>
|
|
<li>sells are never "below the candle", so a ROI of 2% may result in a sell at 2.4% if low was at 2.4% profit</li>
|
|
<li>Forcesells caused by <code><N>=-1</code> ROI entries use low as sell value, unless N falls on the candle open (e.g. <code>120: -1</code> for 1h candles)</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>Stoploss sells happen exactly at stoploss price, even if low was lower</li>
|
|
<li>Trailing stoploss<ul>
|
|
<li>High happens first - adjusting stoploss</li>
|
|
<li>Low uses the adjusted stoploss (so sells with large high-low difference are backtested correctly)</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>Sell-reason does not explain if a trade was positive or negative, just what triggered the sell (this can look odd if negative ROI values are used)</li>
|
|
<li>Stoploss (and trailing stoploss) is evaluated before ROI within one candle. So you can often see more trades with the <code>stoploss</code> and/or <code>trailing_stop</code> sell reason comparing to the results obtained with the same strategy in the Dry Run/Live Trade modes.</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<p>Taking these assumptions, backtesting tries to mirror real trading as closely as possible. However, backtesting will <strong>never</strong> replace running a strategy in dry-run mode.
|
|
Also, keep in mind that past results don't guarantee future success.</p>
|
|
<p>In addition to the above assumptions, strategy authors should carefully read the <a href="../strategy-customization/#common-mistakes-when-developing-strategies">Common Mistakes</a> section, to avoid using data in backtesting which is not available in real market conditions.</p>

You can then load the trades to perform further analysis as shown in our <a href="../data-analysis/#backtesting">data analysis</a> backtesting section.</p>

|
|
<p>To compare multiple strategies, a list of Strategies can be provided to backtesting.</p>
|
|
<p>This is limited to 1 timeframe value per run. However, data is only loaded once from disk so if you have multiple
|
|
strategies you'd like to compare, this will give a nice runtime boost.</p>
|
|
<p>All listed Strategies need to be in the same directory.</p>

<p>This will save the results to <code>user_data/backtest_results/backtest-result-<strategy>.json</code>, injecting the strategy-name into the target filename.
|
|
There will be an additional table comparing win/losses of the different strategies (identical to the "Total" row in the first table).
|
|
Detailed output for all strategies one after the other will be available, so make sure to scroll up to see the details per strategy.</p>
