Frequently asked questions
What is BacktestFlow?
BacktestFlow is a forex backtesting and trading journal platform. You replay historical price charts, execute simulated trades, and every trade is automatically turned into journal entries and statistics — so you can find out if a strategy actually works before risking real money.
Is BacktestFlow free to use?
There is a free plan, and no credit card is required to get started. You can backtest, journal trades, and view your statistics on it.
Do I need to know how to code to backtest a strategy?
No. BacktestFlow is built for manual, discretionary backtesting: you replay historical candles on a real chart and place trades yourself, so there's no scripting and no coding required.
Do I need to download or install anything?
No. BacktestFlow runs entirely in your browser, so it works identically on Mac, Windows and Linux. There is no download, no plugin, no MetaTrader installation and no broker account required to start backtesting.
Which markets can I backtest?
BacktestFlow is built for forex traders. You replay historical price action currency pair by currency pair and test your strategy under realistic market conditions.
How is this different from backtesting in a spreadsheet or on a demo account?
Every simulated trade you place is logged automatically and turned into statistics — win rate, risk-to-reward, profit factor, expectancy, drawdown, and more — without manual data entry, screenshots, or spreadsheets.
Can I use BacktestFlow as a trading journal for live trades too?
Yes. Backtest trades and live trades share the same journal and statistics engine, so you can compare how you test against how you actually trade.
