Community backtests are strategies traders publish for others to view, rate, and comment on, each showing its stats and trade history. It turns your private testing into a two-way channel: you can share your best work for feedback and learn from how others traded the same markets.
Why share and browse
- Get feedback: other traders' eyes catch things your own review misses.
- Learn from real results: shared backtests show the actual trade history, not just a claim - you can see how the strategy behaved.
- Compare approaches: seeing different strategies on the same pair broadens how you think about a market.
- Motivation: publishing a result you are proud of reinforces the disciplined testing that produced it.
How to publish your backtest
- Save the session you want to share.
- Choose to share it and add a title and description explaining the strategy.
- Meet the minimum trade count - shared strategies generally need enough trades that the stats are meaningful, not a lucky handful.
- Submit for review if a review step applies, then it appears in the community once approved.
The minimum-trades rule matters
Requiring a minimum trade count before publishing is not red tape - it protects the quality of the community. A strategy shared after twelve lucky trades would mislead everyone who studies it. The threshold ensures shared backtests carry enough of a sample to be worth learning from, which keeps the whole feed trustworthy.
Rating and commenting
You can rate shared strategies and leave comments or replies, turning the feed into a discussion. When you publish, that feedback helps you spot weaknesses; when you browse, rating and reading comments sharpens your own judgment about what makes a strategy sound. Treat it as a study tool, not a scoreboard.
Important: a shared backtest is still a backtest. A great community result is a starting point for your own testing, not a strategy to copy blindly - you still need to test it yourself and forward test before trusting it with money.
Share your first strategy
Once you have a saved session with a solid sample, publish it and see what the community thinks. Browsing others' backtests, meanwhile, is one of the fastest ways to expand your sense of what works. Start from the simulator, build a strong session, and join the conversation.
