Comparison sets let you evaluate multiple backtests side by side — one of the most effective ways to refine a strategy.

Create a comparison set

Method 1: From the backtest list

  1. Go to Backtests.
  2. Select at least two backtests.
  3. Click Compare.

Method 2: From a result page

  1. Open a backtest result.
  2. Click Compare in the floating action bar.
  3. Add it to an existing set or create a new one.

Method 3: From the Analysis page

  1. Go to Analysis.
  2. Click New Comparison Set.
  3. Name the set and add backtests.

The comparison page

At the top of the page, each backtest appears as a card showing its strategy name, parameters, and key metrics. Cards are color-coded to match the charts, and you can drag them to reorder.

Set a baseline

Pick one backtest as your baseline. Other results will be compared relative to it — making it easy to see what improved and what didn’t.
