Can i backtest data for more than 1 year, on index or equity?

@BERUS Yes, you can backtest for more than 1 year at once on the 1-day timeframe. For lower timeframes, the maximum backtest duration is comparatively limited based on the timeframe selected.

Currently, the supported backtest durations are as follows:

  • 1 Day: Up to 3 years
  • 1 Hour: Up to 1 year
  • 3 / 5 / 15 / 30 Minutes: Up to 3 months
  • 1 Minute: Up to 1 month

However, you can always adjust the date range and perform multiple backtests for different periods as required.
