What is backtesting?

Backtesting evaluates a strategy against historical market data to understand how it might have behaved in past conditions.

Why it matters

It helps users find obvious weaknesses before paper or live trading, but past behavior does not guarantee future results.

How to check it

Review sample size, fees, drawdowns, win rate, reward-to-risk, and whether assumptions match live execution.

How Quantova helps

Quantova provides backtest-oriented workflows and advisory ideas that should be tested before live changes.

Risk note

Trading concepts and platform signals are educational. Crypto trading involves risk, including loss of capital.
