Backtesting basics
Can I backtest a crypto strategy for free?
Yes — our public backtester at /whatif runs a full strategy simulation on real exchange data with no signup, no card and no install: pick a strategy preset, a starting date and an amount, and you get the equity curve, trade list and a robustness scorecard in about a minute.
Beyond the free one-shot tool, a free account adds the visual strategy builder, custom rules, more coins and timeframes, walk-forward validation and paper trading. Serious parameter optimization and alerts sit in paid tiers.
The fastest answer is a test
Most 'does X work?' questions take a minute to answer empirically — on real data, with an out-of-sample check, free.
