Trading Strategy Backtesting & Validation Systems

We build custom backtesting systems that help traders evaluate strategy behaviour, risk exposure, and execution assumptions — not tools that promise future profitability.

Backtesting is a critical step in strategy development, but only when done correctly. Our focus is on creating backtest systems that reflect realistic market conditions and clearly expose where a strategy performs well, where it fails, and why.

Who This Service Is For (And Who It Is Not)

This service is suitable if you:

• Have a rule-based trading strategy and want to validate it objectively
• Understand that backtests reveal behaviour, not guarantees
• Want visibility into drawdowns, trade distribution, and risk
• Prefer data-driven evaluation over intuition or assumptions

This service is NOT suitable if you:

• Are looking for backtests to justify a preconceived belief
• Expect historical results to predict future profits
• Want curve-fitted results without robustness checks
• Assume backtesting eliminates real-market uncertainty

What Our Backtesting Systems Cover

• Rule validation: Verifying that strategy logic behaves as intended.
• Performance metrics: Equity curves, drawdowns, win/loss ratios, and expectancy.
• Risk analysis: Exposure, streaks, and adverse scenarios.
• Trade-level diagnostics: Entry, exit, and execution assumptions.
• Robustness checks: Sensitivity to parameters and market conditions.

How Backtesting Is Implemented

1. Strategy rule definition and assumptions documentation
2. Historical data selection and validation
3. Backtest engine implementation
4. Performance and risk analysis
5. Interpretation and refinement guidance

Important Limitations You Must Understand

• Backtests are based on historical data, not future conditions
• Execution assumptions can significantly affect results
• Overfitting can create misleading performance metrics
• Live trading introduces slippage, latency, and liquidity effects

Why Work With Group Technologies & Exports

• Focus on validation and understanding, not selling performance
• Clear explanation of assumptions and limitations
• Experience across multiple strategy types and markets
• Backtesting systems designed to support real decision-making
