Backtesting on Veles: how to create and test a cryptocurrency trading strategy

Veles users have access to various tools to manage orders, positions and reduce risks. In the backtest mode, you can customize the parameters of trades to increase profitability.

Veles offers a database of minute candles to thoroughly analyze trading ideas. The “Profit” indicator on the chart shows the profitability of the strategy for a specific period without taking into account the exchange commission. This data is duplicated in the Gross (“dirty” income) line. Net profit minus transaction costs is shown in the Net field.

The “MPP” and “MPU” indicators display the maximum possible profit and loss values on open positions. This data can be used to customize the strategy – placing Stop Loss and Take Profit orders.
