Crypto backtesting

Backtest crypto bar by bar, around the clock.

Pick a coin and a moment, step the chart forward, and trade it on our own charts. Crypto never closes, so the replay carries the overnight and weekend bars your equity backtest would not have.

How it works

  1. 01

    Pick a coin and a date

    Choose the pair and where in history to start, then jump to the move you want to study.

  2. 02

    Trade the replay

    Step forward one bar at a time, through the small hours and the weekend as well as the day.

  3. 03

    Read the stats

    Win rate, expectancy and drawdown for the idea, with every simulated trade logged at its R multiple.

24/7 replay

A market with no close, replayed as it traded.

The bars run through nights and weekends, so a setup that only appears at three in the morning is one you can actually test.

  • Weekend and overnight bars included
  • Results readable by hour and weekday
  • The same charts the app draws live

Session stats

The stats of the idea, when the run is done.

Every simulated trade is logged with its R multiple, so a session ends with numbers rather than a feeling about the coin.

  • Win rate, expectancy, drawdown
  • Per-trade R and equity curve
  • Sessions never expire on Pro

Into the journal

Test it, then trade it on a synced exchange.

On Pro the tested trades export into the same journal your exchange fills arrive in, so the idea and the live record sit side by side.

  • Backtests and live trades in one record
  • Exchange sync by read-only API key
  • Edge suggests what to test next

Questions

Which crypto data does the backtester use?

Real historical candles for the crypto instruments in the app, and coverage grows as data partners are added. The charts are ours rather than an embed, so the replay, your drawings and the simulated fills are all in one place.

Does the replay cover weekends?

Yes. Crypto trades around the clock and the candles do too, so overnight and weekend sessions are part of the test rather than a gap in it.

Is crypto backtesting free?

A free account gets 2 full sessions, up to 50 trades in each, on 1 market at a time. Pro removes every cap.

Can I take the tested idea to a live account?

Yes. Connect an exchange with a read-only API key on Pro and your live fills arrive verified in the same journal the backtest exported into.

Can I test a written strategy against its rules?

Yes. On Pro a session can be linked to a strategy in your Playbook, and each simulated trade is checked against the rules you wrote down.

Can I run DT Terminal from Claude?

Soon. We are building an MCP connector that opens the whole of DT Terminal to Claude: every workspace and every piece of your data, to read and to act on, with your consent per scope. It works with any assistant that speaks MCP, and it is in development, not live yet.

Test the coin before the money is on it.
