Backtrex Introduction: No-Code Backtesting in 5 Min

What is Backtrex?

Backtrex is a no-code visual backtesting platform designed for retail traders. Instead of writing Pine Script or MQL5, you work directly on a chart: you drop your indicators on it, describe in plain language what should trigger your trades, and backtest the whole thing on historical data in seconds.

Key Concepts

The chart is the workbench

Everything happens on a single surface. You pick an asset and a timeframe, add your indicators from the top bar, and they appear on the chart exactly as they would on any trading platform.

To the right sits the Builder: the panel that holds your strategy. It lists, in readable sentences, the conditions that open and close your trades.

The distinction matters: the chart shows, the Builder decides. An indicator sitting on the chart but used in no condition changes nothing in your backtest.

Conditions

A condition is a statement Backtrex checks on every closed candle. There are three forms:

• Comparison — RSI < 30, Close > EMA 200
• Crossover — EMA 20 crosses above EMA 50
• Signal — an event that fires on its own: Order Block, bearish CHoCH, bullish engulfing, London Kill Zone

Conditions stack with AND (all must be true) inside a scenario, and scenarios combine with OR (either one is enough). That is the whole logic model.

Deduction from your trades

If you know your setup by eye but struggle to write it down, do the reverse: draw two or three trades you would have taken directly on the chart. Backtrex analyses what they have in common and suggests the matching conditions. You tick the ones you keep, and they land in the Builder as ordinary, editable conditions.

Backtesting

Once your strategy has an entry and a way to exit, run the backtest from the bottom bar. Backtrex processes multi-year datasets and returns results in under 30 seconds: net result, win rate, profit factor, maximum drawdown, equity curve and the full trade list, replayed on the chart.

Anti-Repainting

Backtrex enforces anti-repainting safeguards by default. All signals use confirmed bar data (close[1]), meaning your backtest results reflect what you would actually have seen in live trading.

Pine Script Export

Export your strategy as Pine Script v5 code compatible with TradingView. The export guarantees less than 2% divergence between Backtrex and TradingView results.
