Gate’s Trading Bot Strategy Center has been upgraded with a Backtesting feature. Based on the strategy parameters and time range you configure, the system runs historical simulations and displays complete trading data for the selected strategy and period, including total returns, maximum profit and loss, maximum drawdown percentage, and more. Before executing a strategy, users can run a backtest and use the results as a reference to evaluate the feasibility and performance of the strategy.
