# Comparing Multiple Backtests

> Use comparison sets to analyze multiple backtest results side by side.

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.

## Analysis tabs

### Performance

* Side-by-side metrics table
* Overlaid equity curves
* P\&L distribution comparison

### Risk

* Drawdown comparison
* Holding period distribution
* Risk metrics side by side

### Conditions

* Settings and parameter comparison
* Condition quadrant chart

### Time Periods

* Monthly and weekly return comparison
* Seasonality analysis

> Note: Comparisons are especially powerful for A/B testing — change one
> parameter and see exactly how it affects results.

## Manage comparison sets

| Plan | Max Sets | Max Backtests per Set |
| ---- | -------- | --------------------- |
| Free | 5        | 10                    |
| Plus | 15       | 20                    |
| Pro  | 100      | 50                    |
