# Backtests

> Validate every strategy against history before you risk a dollar.

Every asset and timeframe has a continuous backtest pool running in the background. When you open a backtest, your parameters are matched against a pre-computed result set — you see results in seconds.

## What gets tested

* Every asset (BTC, ETH, SOL, XRP, BNB, DOGE, HYPE)
* Every timeframe (5m, 15m, 1h, 4h)
* A rolling data window per timeframe (5m: 7 days · 15m: 14 days · 1h: 14 days · 4h: 30 days)
* Thousands of parameter combinations across timing, price movement, and direction

## How to run one

    * ⚙️ Computing signals…
    * ✨ Finalizing results…
  </Step>

  <Step title="Read the results">
    You get three ranked cards — one each for Most Profitable, Fast, and Safest playstyles.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Use or adjust">
    Tap the **Use these params** link on any card to build a sniper from it, or tweak the form and re-run.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## The three categories

Every AI backtest returns up to three cards so you can pick the playstyle that fits you.

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="🏆 Most Profitable">
    The combination with the highest PnL across the window, regardless of timing.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="⚡ Fast">
    Highest PnL among combos that fire close to market resolution (timing within the first 25% of the window). Lower exposure, quicker in/out.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="🛡️ Safest">
    Highest PnL among combos with a 99% or higher historical win rate. The boring-but-reliable pick.
  </Accordion>
</AccordionGroup>

<Note>
  Quality gates filter out thin or losing combos automatically. Each qualifying combo must have positive PnL, fire on at least 10% of markets, and meet a minimum ROI. If no combo meets the Safest bar, that card is simply omitted.
