@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.

@samuel-7 You can set the TP and SL by creating a strategy and alert will be triggered when either one of is hit.
