After you have entered the criteria for opening a position, specify position maintenance parameters: Stop Loss, Trailing Stop Loss,
Take Profit, and, if necessary, criteria for closing a position. Your strategy is now ready for backtesting. Click the Backtest
button, and the strategy results page will display. This action will also automatically save the strategy, so there is no need to click
the Save button. Please note that it can take several minutes to complete the test and display the report.
The speed of the backtest may depend on the trading strategy you have built. Please pay attention to such factors as criteria for opening a position, the number of tickers in the stock universe, and the specified backtesting period. If your strategy has been testing too long, consider changing these factors. Perhaps you can simplify the criteria for opening a position and reduce the stock universe or the testing period.
