Risk Disclosure

Important information about the limitations of backtesting and the risks of algorithmic trading.

Hypothetical results

All backtest results produced by backtester.run are simulated using historical market data. They represent what a strategy would have returned under past conditions — not results from actual trades executed in live markets. Simulated results have inherent limitations and are not a substitute for live trading records.

Past performance

Historical performance does not guarantee or predict future results. Markets evolve, regimes change, and a strategy that performed well historically may perform poorly or incur losses going forward.

Not financial advice

Nothing on backtester.run — including strategy results, metrics, tearsheets, or any generated content — constitutes investment advice, a recommendation to buy or sell any security or cryptocurrency, or financial planning guidance. backtester.run is a research tool, not a licensed financial adviser.

Algorithmic trading risks

Deploying an algorithmic strategy in live markets carries risks that backtests cannot fully capture:

  • — Slippage and market impact beyond modelled estimates
  • — Exchange or broker outages during critical moments
  • — Liquidity gaps and wide spreads in volatile conditions
  • — Regulatory changes affecting the traded instruments
  • — Overfitting: strategies optimised on historical data that fail out-of-sample

Your responsibility

Any decision to deploy a strategy in live markets is solely your own. You should conduct your own due diligence and consult a licensed financial adviser before committing real capital to any strategy, regardless of its backtest performance.
