Backtesting is more than simply running a strategy on historical data; It is a careful and methodical process to evaluate the robustness and effectiveness of a tool or strategy. A well-designed and executed backtesting methodology is a testament to the seriousness and commitment of a platform to its users. At Smart Trading Indicators, we take this process one step further, by integrating the most advanced Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence (AI) techniques.
