Backtest Tariffs

Backtest tariffs — a new limit calculation model for testing trading strategies, based on the duration of the analyzed period rather than the number of runs.

How it works

1. Limits (in analysis years) are accrued daily at 00:00 UTC based on your active tariff.
2. When starting a backtest, the system checks the available limit and open slots for concurrent runs.
3. The limit is deducted immediately upon starting the strategy check.
4. If the balance reaches its maximum capacity, daily accruals pause until you spend some of your analysis years.

Formula: Deduction = Duration of the period (in years) × Number of selected pairs

Limitations

Tariff	Price	Daily Accrual	Max Capacity	Concurrent Tests
Free	$0	+2 years	6 years	1
Starter	$15 / mo	+50 years	150 years	1
Pro	$29 / mo	+500 years	1,500 years	5
Quant	$69 / mo	+50,000 years	150,000 years	50

Key rules of the system:

• To use the Free tariff, you must verify your email address.
• When purchasing any paid tariff, your balance is instantly filled to its maximum value.
• There is no auto-renewal. When a paid subscription expires, your limit is reduced to the Free maximum (6 years).
• Upgrading between paid tariffs is currently unavailable until the active subscription ends.
• Advanced features (Market Scan, parameter optimization) are exclusive to Pro and Quant tariffs.

Examples

Standard single-pair backtest You want to test a strategy on the BTC/USDT pair over the last 3 years. Starting the test will deduct exactly 3 years of analysis. If you are on the Starter tariff (150 years max), you will have 147 years left.

Using Market Scan You run a mass strategy check across 10 different trading pairs for a 1-year period. The limit is calculated cumulatively: 10 pairs × 1 year = 10 years of analysis. The deduction happens instantly upon launch.

Impact on strategy

The new tariff system provides more flexibility in planning. You are no longer restricted by a strict number of runs, allowing you to conduct dozens of short tests to fine-tune parameters using the same limit as one deep test across a prolonged bear market.

However, it is crucial to monitor your limit consumption when using Market Scan, as mass checks across multiple pairs deplete your accumulated balance much faster. If you lack sufficient limits, the interface will display an error indicating the missing years and offer to upgrade your tariff.

Important

Your limit counter cannot exceed your tariff’s maximum capacity. Run backtests regularly so that daily accruals are not wasted due to a full balance.

Summary

• Casual testing: Free or Starter tariffs are sufficient.
• Finding new setups: Pro tariff with Market Scan access.
• Professional algorithmic trading: Quant tariff for maximum limits and highest priority queues.

Tip

Keep track of your current analysis years balance, available limits, and statistics on the backtests page or in the top menu of your Personal Account.
