Strategy results
Every saved strategy owns shared backtest results over the recorded history.
Every saved strategy on 0DTESPX.com owns its results: a backtest over the recorded history, computed once and shared by everyone who uses the same configuration. There is no separate "backtest" to create, configure, or manage — build a strategy, and its results follow it everywhere.
How results work
- Fixed, comparable conditions. Every strategy is tested the same way: each recorded session runs independently with $100,000 starting capital, second by second, through the same engine that powers the trading simulator, settling at the 4:00 PM ET close. Because the conditions never vary, any two strategies' results are directly comparable — the strategies list doubles as a leaderboard.
- Shared across users. Strategies are content-addressed: two people who build the exact same configuration get the same strategy with the same results, computed once. If someone already tested your idea, your results appear instantly.
- Fees are yours. Runs are computed fee-free; your fee schedule (or the default) is applied when results are displayed. If you set a custom fee schedule, you see every figure net of your own costs — without anyone recomputing anything.
- Full history for everyone. Results always cover all recorded sessions — the engine computes the full recorded history, and that's exactly what you see.
- Live from the first day. Results stream in session by session while a strategy runs — in the builder preview and on the strategy page alike.
Reading the results
A strategy's results page reports the full metric set — total return, CAGR, Sharpe, Sortino, Calmar, max drawdown, profit factor, expectancy, win rate, and total fees under your schedule — plus an equity curve with an SPX buy-and-hold benchmark, a drawdown view, a per-day P&L histogram, and a calendar heatmap coloring each session by its P&L.
Drilling into a session
Click any session to open its detail: that day's orders and trades (with your fees applied), the strategy's decision log — the running commentary of what it chose to do and why — and the second-by-second intraday chart of SPX with your order markers and the account's equity. The drill-in replays the session through the engine on demand, so it takes a few seconds to load; nothing about it is precomputed or stale.
Staying current
As new trading days are recorded, a strategy's results fall behind ("N new sessions available"). One click appends just the missing sessions — days are independent, so nothing is recomputed — and everyone sharing the configuration sees the update.
Reproducibility
Strategies are immutable: the configuration you save is the configuration that produced the results, forever. To iterate, clone — the builder opens pre-filled, and your changes become a new strategy with its own results. Day results are deterministic: re-running any session reproduces the stored result exactly.
