# Backtesting ### Backtest 0DTE and next-day options strategies Run a backtest using multiple entry and exit criteria, position settings, and technical indicators to analyze detailed performance history for all your ideas. ### Compare and combine multiple backtests Quickly add multiple variations to stress-test different variations and variables to improve performance. Then, combine the results of multiple strategies into one portfolio curve. ### Detailed logs of every trade for full transparency Extensive logging gives you confidence in the backtest your running before going live with a strategy. Every backtest includes detailed trade logs in case you want to dive into historical data. ### Create a bot to automatically trade your new strategy Once you've found a backtest you love, instantly turn that backtest into an automated bot that trades the exact same strategy you backtested. Then, let your new bot find and manage trades for you. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
