Tick-level backtesting for futures traders

Most strategies don't survive an honest backtest. Find out if yours does — before the market charges you the tuition.

Tick-resolution backtesting, Monte Carlo risk analysis, and a live prop dashboard. Prove your edge instead of hoping for it.

Why this is different

Everyone's selling you signals.
BacktestLab exposes them.

No predictions. No "can't-lose" bot. No crystal ball.

Most strategies fail an honest backtest — and even the ones that pass, a backtest isn't a track record. Find out where yours stands before your account does.

What you get

The truth machine for your strategy.

📊

Tick-resolution backtesting

Replay your strategy against real NQ/MNQ tick data — not smeared 1-minute bars. See exactly how it behaves, fill by fill.

🎲

Monte Carlo risk analysis

Probability of profit, max drawdown, worst-case losing streaks. Know your real downside before it knows you.

✂️

In-sample / out-of-sample split

The check almost nobody runs — so you can't fool yourself into trading an overfit fluke on a live account.

🖥️

Live prop dashboard

A TopstepX-connected cockpit to run and monitor whatever actually survives the gauntlet — your strategy, your call.

No signals. No predictions. No profit promises.
BacktestLab doesn't tell you what the market will do. It tells you the truth about your strategy — so you decide with data instead of hope. Live execution (The Bench / The Build) runs locally on your own machine, actively monitored, with bracketed orders — in line with Topstep's automation rules. You run it; you're responsible for it. Trading futures involves substantial risk of loss.
