of the backtest's own position size

The account held for the whole period without ever crossing a loss limit, but the profit target was never reached.

A public strategy from the leaderboard, replayed against the rules above on September 25, 2026. It is not your strategy: to get this verdict on yours, test it in the app.

Does your position size hold the daily limit?

No account and no strategy needed: two numbers you already know are enough.

Worst day 2%Funding Pips limit 5%Holds

Above 1.25% per trade, 4 losses on the same day is enough to break the rule.

This only looks at the daily loss rule. Holding it does not clear the program: the overall loss, the profit target and the time limit remain. It is a necessary condition, not a sufficient one.

What Backtrex does with these rules

You test your strategy in the app, on up to ten years of data. Backtrex then replays the resulting trades through this program, starting on the first day of the period tested.

  • Whether the strategy would have cleared the phases, or the exact day the account would have burned.
  • The breach reason: daily loss, overall loss, or a target never reached.
  • How many attempts the period would have taken, and what the failed ones would have cost in fees.
  • The largest risk per trade you could hold: above it, one losing trade alone passes the 5% daily loss limit.

The verdict covers the period tested, on closed trades: drawdown inside an open trade is not measured. It is a necessary condition, not a guarantee.
