First Engine Backtest

The former Chat Backtest has been retired. Use the Web Engine Backtest at the backtest page for supported strategy templates, or use the documented AlphaFox CLI installation guide for CLI workflows.

Run it

Choose a supported template

Open the backtest page, choose the template and market symbols, and skip templates marked as unsupported.

Set the range and controls

Choose the data source, replay interval, date range, and initial equity. Compare rising, falling, and sideways periods. The Web uses the default execution model; review its fee and execution assumptions in the result snapshot.

Submit and inspect

Read the equity curve, maximum drawdown, trade history, positions, and any data warnings. The trade count records reductions or closes, so zero trades can include an open position. Check positions, orders, and diagnostics before drawing a conclusion.

Then what

If the behavior is understandable, create the same template in the Classic builder and validate it on paper. Do not publish a chat transcript: the old Strategy Plaza publishing flow is retired.
