# Backtesting

Beta Feature - Backtesting is currently in development and being actively improved. This tool helps you test your trading strategies using natural language, but does not generate profitable trades or investment advice. We welcome your feedback as we enhance this feature.

# How It Works

The backtesting tool lets you test your trading strategies and ideas using natural language. With access to comprehensive historical data (stocks: 20 years, indices: 10 years) and 10+ technical indicators, you can validate your hypotheses without complex coding or manual chart analysis.

📈 Test Your Strategies 📊 10+ Indicators 🔄 Natural Language

Perfect for:

Testing your trading ideas and strategies
Validating investment hypotheses with historical data
Experimenting with different entry/exit conditions
Combining multiple technical indicators in your approach
Brainstorming trading strategies

Example queries:

"Backtest buying SPY when RSI drops below 30 and selling when it hits 70"
"Test a strategy that buys AAPL on golden cross and sells on death cross"
"How would a momentum strategy perform on tech stocks over the last 5 years?"

How to trigger: Use "backtest" or "test strategy" in your prompt or select the backtesting tool from the tools tab.

# Custom Indicators

Xynth can help you combine existing indicators or create custom technical indicators for your backtesting. This allows you to test unique combinations and approaches that standard platforms don't offer.

# 💡 Pro Tips

Be Specific - Define clear entry/exit rules, timeframes, and conditions for better results
Iterate and Refine - Start broad, then narrow down based on initial results
Clear Workspace - Tell Xynth to clear workspace when starting new strategies or chats (backtesting can be resource-intensive)
Test Multiple Scenarios - Try different market conditions, timeframes, and parameter variations

Strategy Testing Only - Xynth tests your ideas, it doesn't generate profitable trading strategies
