Introduction to Backtrex

What is Backtrex?

Backtrex is a no-code visual backtesting platform designed for retail traders. Instead of writing code in Pine Script or MQL5, you build trading strategies by dragging and dropping visual blocks on a canvas, then backtest them on historical data in seconds.

Key Concepts

Visual Strategy Builder

The strategy builder is a drag-and-drop canvas where you assemble blocks to define your trading logic. There are three main block types:

• Indicator blocks: Technical indicators like RSI, MACD, Moving Averages, Bollinger Bands, and Smart Money Concepts (Order Blocks, FVG, BOS/CHoCH)
• Logic blocks: Comparison operators that define entry and exit conditions (e.g., "RSI crosses above 30")
• Action blocks: Entry and exit signals that tell the backtest engine when to open or close positions

Backtesting

Once your strategy is built, select an asset (forex, crypto, indices, or commodities), a date range, and run the backtest. Backtrex processes multi-year datasets and returns results in under 30 seconds.

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 see 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.
