Spot Trading Strategy Backtesting

Spot market backtesting allows traders to evaluate trading strategies using historical spot market data before risking real capital. With Backtestra, you can test, analyze, and refine spot trading strategies across different market conditions with precision and confidence.

What Is Spot Backtesting?

Long-term and swing traders
Investors avoiding leverage and liquidation risk
