Years ago, I started testing strategies hundreds of times each on the Trading Rush Channel.

But it was a pain to track and type hundreds of trades manually.

My keyboard still has PTSD from all that data entry.

I used to make errors and typos while testing with an Excel sheet.

Somehow I kept typing “buy” when I meant “cry”.

Then I had to spend time double-checking every little thing to make sure the testing data was correct.

Basically, I needed something that was simple.

Because my relationship with Excel was getting toxic.

I needed something where I only had to press 1 or 2 buttons and everything else would be done automatically without fear of making mistakes.

That’s how the Trading Rush BackTester was born.

I initially made this project for myself.

But since it solved my problem, I knew it would help others find testing data about their strategies as well.

So I made it into a free Android app.

I have updated it many times over the years, adding new features like the probability section.

Now you can scientifically calculate your chances of eating ramen noodles next month.

I tested many different trading strategies 100 times using this Trading Rush BackTester App.

Then the Android app was turned into a free web app so it could be used on every device directly on the Official Trading Rush Website.

iPhone, Android, Windows, MacBook, Potato PC, and even your smart fridge can run it now!

Though if you’re trading from your fridge, you might have a snacking problem.

This is what the web app looks like now. On the left side, you will see a TradingView chart.

Trading Rush has partnered with TradingView for its charts as they are the best I have used in my 8-plus years of trading journey.

On the right side is the BackTester.

It has two sections: BackTest and Probability.

Let’s say I have a trading strategy but I don’t know its win rate.

I know testing is important before using a strategy.

So, I come to the Official Trading Rush BackTester.

Let’s say I want to test the MACD indicator strategy.

I open the indicator on the chart.

If the strategy I want to use is not available on the TradingView chart, or if I want to use a different chart, I can simply make the window width smaller.

This automatically hides the chart and makes the Trading Rush BackTester look more like a floating app.

Now, I can open any other chart in another window or software like MetaTrader, and place the Trading Rush BackTester next to it.

You can also open the chart on your computer and then open the Trading Rush BackTester on your phone.

Since phones have a smaller width, the left side chart will be hidden by default.

On phones, the Trading Rush BackTester will look more like an app.

Identity crisis solved.

There will also be a fullscreen button at the top on supported devices.

When clicked, it truly looks like a phone app.

Once I have decided which device I want to use the Trading Rush BackTester app on, I follow the strategy rules and take trades on the chart.

In the case of the MACD indicator, I will buy when the long crossover happens.

On the TradingView chart, you can also use the position tool to create these buy-sell boxes.

This will also help you see if your trade is won or lost.

When a trade is won, I enter the amount won and press “Add Profit.”

My favorite button, right after “Order Pizza”.

If you use a fixed reward-risk ratio, then your profit/loss amount will be consistent.

So, from the second trade, you only have to click the add profit-loss button. No need to enter amounts again.

But you can even skip the typing amount step.

In the settings, there’s an option to use the percentage of the account.

Once this option is enabled, instead of a dollar amount, you enter the percentage number you won or lost. 2 means 2% of the account, 3 means 3%, And so on.

Now, when you click the add profit or loss button, the dollar amount gets automatically calculated.

Not only that, if you have the use percentage settings enabled, you can also enable the compounding method setting.

Now, every time you win or lose, the profit and loss amount will be calculated in a compounding way.

In other words, typing 3 means 3% of the current account instead of the starting account.

Einstein called compound interest the eighth wonder of the world.

This compound method setting greatly increases the profit made. You can see it on the profit graph.

So, the steps to test a strategy are really simple.

Step 1: Take a trade on the chart just like you would in the live market.

Step 2: Press the add profit or loss button.

Look at your profit graph and see if it’s going in the upward direction.

See the win rate, number of winning and losing streaks, highest profit/loss, and list of trades you have taken.

You can edit your starting account balance, undo, or reset.

Once you have tested your trading strategy in the BackTest section, see what the probability says about your win rate in the Trading Rush Probability section.

Let’s say I tested a strategy in the backtest section.

I would go to the probability section and enter that win rate and reward-risk ratio.

Then run a probability simulation to see how the data would look in a longer time horizon.

For example, how many winning or losing streaks can this win rate and reward-risk ratio give?

How much drawdown or pullback can the strategy give on the profit graph?

AKA the “How much pain can you handle?”.

Basically, use the probability section to enhance your tested data.

If you want me to create a specific feature or you want to share feedback, there is a feedback button at the bottom.

That’s how I use the Free Trading Rush Backtester App.

I hope you find it useful as I do!
