Technology for accurate strategy validation

Still have questions?
Answers to questions before your first backtest.
01
What is backtesting in trading?
A backtest checks a trading strategy on historical data. It shows which trades a bot would have made and with what result. In Veles you can evaluate an idea before launching it: see profit, losses, and drawdowns over the chosen period.
How backtests work 02
Can I run a backtest for free in Veles?
Yes, the Free plan is available for your first checks. 5 years of analysis are credited every day, and you can accumulate up to 15 years. Paid plans are available for larger test volumes; current limits are shown in your account.
Free plan terms 03
How do I run a trading bot backtest?
Set up a bot in Veles and click "Test" in the editor, or start a test from the backtest showcase. Choose a history period, enter your exchange fees, and confirm the calculation.
Launch guide 04
Do I need an exchange deposit for a backtest?
No real deposit is needed: the simulation uses the amount you set. However, an active exchange API connection in your Veles account is required to start. The backtest itself does not open real trades.
What you need for testing 01
What do "years of analysis" mean in the plans?
It is the volume of history being tested, not the subscription term or the age of the data. Usage equals the period length multiplied by the number of trading pairs: one year on three pairs uses three years of analysis. Running the test again uses the limit again.
How the limit is calculated 02
How is a tick backtest different from a candle backtest?
A tick calculation reproduces price movement inside a candle in more detail and helps check order execution more accurately. In Veles it is available for Bybit Futures on the Pro and Quant plans. The current calendar day is not available for this calculation.
Tick calculation features 03
Which period is best for testing a strategy?
Choose a long period that includes rising, falling, and sideways price movement. This lets you see how the strategy behaves in different market conditions, which drawdowns it survives, and how stable its result is. For most exchanges, Veles provides the full history since the asset was listed.
01
How do I know a backtest shows a good result?
Start with the tags and key metrics in the backtest header: they help you quickly evaluate the strategy and see what to pay attention to. Tags may tell you, for example, that the result is good, the deposit load is elevated, or there is not enough data for evaluation. To dig deeper, study the detailed metrics, the chart, and the list of trades to see what the result is made of.
How to read backtest results 02
Are fees included in backtest results?
When starting, enter the actual trading fees of your exchange. In the report, Gross shows the result before fees and Net after them. To compare strategy variants, use the same mode and the same rates: fees can turn a seemingly profitable trade into a loss.
How to read Net and Gross 03
Does a profitable backtest guarantee income in real trading?
No. A backtest describes the past under the given calculation conditions. In the future, the market, liquidity, and order execution prices will change. Use the result to filter out weak ideas and assess risks; even a successful test does not rule out losses when the bot is launched.
04
Can I return to the results and share a backtest?
Yes, a completed calculation can be opened again. The Share button creates a link to the test, which is handy to send to a colleague or attach to a support request.
