If you’re a trader, you know how essential backtesting software is to success, but you might have not gotten around to doing it. Manual Backtesting – trading your strategy by replaying the market for forex, crypto or stocks tends to be overly complicated. Either in the setup or the execution.

This is why many traders just journal in Excel or use TradingView. Neither of these is optimal: you end up without statistics, can’t do as many positions as you need to, and never really refine your strategy execution.

Done right, a good manual backtesting software can help refine your approach, identify underperforming strategies, and build confidence in your trading. Best of all it can all be done in hours with all the data you might need.

The cleo.finance manual backtesting software combines ease of use, extensive data access, and comprehensive statistics, making it the best choice for traders wanting a streamlined, insightful testing experience. Here’s why it’s the ultimate backtesting software for traders at any level.

1. Manual Backtesting with User-Friendly Design

We believe backtesting software should work for you, not the other way around. With that in mind, we’ve crafted our software to be as intuitive and accessible as possible. You won’t need to tackle a steep learning curve or get lost in confusing menus—our platform makes manual backtesting simple from the start.

With features like chart drawings, trading as you normally would, and easy-to-navigate powerful position management, our backtesting software removes the complexity of analyzing trading strategies. You can quickly adjust strategy rules, test different timeframes, and analyze your data without hassle.

So, cleo.finance is prefect if you’re starting out, but also if you’re a pro, as you will finally be able to check any detail of your strategy in a fraction of the time.

2. Access to Comprehensive Market Data for Forex, Crypto, Stocks, Indices & more

One of the biggest challenges in backtesting is finding reliable, high-quality historical data – we’ve been there. Any backtesting software is only as good as the data it contains. In most cases cleo.finance contains all historical data for the asset, going back to when it was featured on the exchange – in some cases this is a few decades.

We also know that most traders dabble in different asset classes. Whether you’re focusing on Forex, stocks, crypto, or commodities, our backtesting software has you covered.

Additionally, our backtesting software allows you to test strategies over multiple timeframes, going down to the 1 minute, with custom timeframes in the works.. Want to simulate specific market conditions to test your approach? With our software, you can drill down into bear markets, bull markets, and everything in between, providing you with the flexibility to stress-test your strategies in a variety of scenarios.

This extensive data access makes our backtesting software an invaluable tool for developing strategies that are resilient in different market environments. Best part? It’s all packed in the platform, so all you need to do is get to backtesting.

3. Easy-to-Use, Insightful Statistics

Analyzing performance metrics is essential in backtesting software, and we understand that statistics can be daunting. That’s why we’ve designed our backtesting software to provide not only summary statistics like Sharpe and Sortino Ratios, Win-rate, Risk to Reward Ratios, but also a look into your best trading days, times, if you’re losing on longs/shorts and much more.

The analytics in our software go beyond raw numbers, with clear visuals like charts and color-coded metrics that allow you to spot patterns and analyze results at a glance. This makes it easier than ever to identify strengths and weaknesses in your trading approach, making our backtesting software ideal for traders who want quick insights without complex calculations.

This is an example of how you can immediately increase your PnL.

4. Customization for Any Trading Strategy

Every trader has a unique approach, and no two strategies are exactly the same. That’s why our backtesting software is created to let you test any strategy that you’d like. We’re regularly putting this to action and posting backtesting results for strategies like Judas Swing, Silver Bullet, but you can check any ICT strategy to see if the hype is real.

If you’re trading an indicator based strategy you can automate it and backtest it in minutes as well.

The Manual Backtester simply works as you trade. You can draw anything on the chart, use precise position management with multiple Stop Loses and Take profits, replay the market and see how you’d react. Toy with the replay speed or jump to specific dates as you need. Try a different approach in the same conditions and drill your strategy execution to perfection. The best manual backtesting software should not make you feel like you’re doing anything else except trading.
