About BacktestFlow

BacktestFlow is forex backtesting and trading journal software, built around a single conviction: a trader should never risk real money on a strategy they haven't properly tested.

What the product does

You replay historical forex charts candle by candle, without knowing what happens next, and place trades exactly as you would live. Every trade you close is journaled automatically and turned into statistics. The whole loop isbacktest → journal → analyze → improve, inside one tool, so no part of it depends on a spreadsheet you have to remember to update.

What we're deliberately not

BacktestFlow does not sell strategies, signals, or shortcuts. There is no system to buy here and no claim that trading becomes easy. The product's only job is to turn what you actually did into evidence you can act on.

It is also forex-only, on purpose. Session-aware candle alignment, pip-denominated statistics and performance breakdowns by trading session are worth more when they are built for one market properly than for five markets approximately.

How we handle numbers

Most trading tools will happily report a confident-looking statistic from twelve trades. We think that is the central failure of the category, so the analysis layer is built the other way around: significance tests, confidence intervals and minimum group sizes run before a claim is made, and the AI narration layer can only describe numbers the deterministic engine actually computed. It cannot invent a statistic, because it never has access to one that wasn't measured.

Editorial standards

The same principle applies to what we publish:

  • Statistics are verified computationally before publication.Confidence intervals quoted in articles are recomputed, not estimated. We have corrected published figures on this basis and will do so again.
  • We describe shipped features as shipped and planned features as planned.If something is on the roadmap, the article says so.
  • Comparisons name where the other tool wins. Seehow we write comparisons.
  • Nothing here is financial advice. Everything we publish is educational. Trading involves risk, and backtested performance does not guarantee future results.

Where the data comes from

Historical price data is served from an internal provider for supported instruments, with Dukascopy as a fallback — the same source many traders download CSV files from manually. Replay runs on OHLC candles rather than tick data.
