Historical market data
Import one OHLCV CSV at a time. V7.3 calculates historical indicators and strategy candidates locally. It does not fetch live market prices.
Required columns: timestamp, open, high, low, close, volume. At least 60 valid completed candles. One instrument and one timeframe per file. The instrument and timeframe are user-declared and must match the CSV.
CSV structure and OHLC consistency are checked. The app cannot independently certify the source, corporate-action adjustments, timezone, missing sessions or candle completion.
Strategy lab · core strategies + breakout research
Runs four core strategies and a 12-combination breakout research matrix on the selected imported dataset. Uses one position at a time, account risk sizing, simulated slippage and round-trip charges. This is a research simulation, not proof of future profitability.
Dataset: not loaded. Select the instrument and timeframe here; these selections are shared with Market data. Import a matching CSV to enable the backtest.

Table 3 · Walk-forward validation
Expanding chronological validation: initial 50% warm-up window followed by three sequential unseen test windows. Fixed strategies; no test-window tuning. Each window starts flat.

Data quality checks
Method assumptions: entry at signal candle close; next bars test stop/target; if both hit in one candle, stop is assumed first; intraday positions exit at next session open; remaining positions close at dataset end. Fees and slippage are estimates. Taxes, market impact, liquidity, circuit limits and exact broker fills are not modelled.
Account-wide risk controls
Risk is shared across all segments and strategies. Fees are included in net P&L but excluded from gross price-risk and daily gross-loss thresholds. Software checks cannot guarantee stop execution.
