How to read a backtest

A backtest replays a strategy over historical data. It is evidence about a simulation, not a record of live trading.

Check the assumptions​

Superstar backtests do not fully model every exchange fee, price move inside a four-hour review window, partial fill, or execution delay. Live market conditions can therefore produce different results.

Read the results together​

Consider the test period, starting and ending balance, number of trades, profitable-trade ratio, and maximum drawdown together. Historical returns and win rates do not promise future performance.

Keep the risk in view​

Superstar is a directional strategy. It carries market, leverage, signal, execution, and stop-loss risk. Read Superstar risks before allocating.
