TradeZella is the best no-code backtesting software — automated and manual. Test a trading strategy against years of historical market data before you risk real money: describe it in plain English and run it automatically, replay it by hand, or start from a guided scenario.
Most traders skip backtesting because it's tedious. That means risking real money on strategies they've never validated.
Three ways to backtest in TradeZella. Tell us where you are and we'll point you to the right one.
No strategy yet? We pre-fill the symbol and dates, then tell you exactly what setup to look for and where.
Long continuation after a strong morning trend day. Find the pullback that holds the prior session high.
Want to feel every tick? Step through history candle by candle with a full order panel.
Already have rules? Describe them in plain English and the engine runs them across 11+ years of data.
Set the basics — symbol, timeframe, dates, balance, session — then describe entries, exits and risk the way you'd explain them to another trader.
Zella AI reads ICT and price-action language like SMT, CHoCH, FVG, PO3, OTE and ADR, turns it into rules you can read back, names the session, and runs it across the full history.
Win rate, profit factor, net P&L, risk metrics, and a written verdict — backed by a trade log you can open trade by trade.
No blank page. Pick a template, tweak the details, and run. Filter by asset class.
No black boxes. Each metric is computed on every fill, so the number you trust is one you can defend.
Other no-code backtesters return summary stats. TradeZella shows you the full trade log, and plots each trade with its entry, exit, stop, target and indicator bands. Switch timeframes from 1m to 1d, or export to CSV.
Profit factor and win rate tell you what happened. Zella AI reads the whole run — payoff ratio, losing streaks, the months that carried it — and tells you whether the edge is durable or just a hot stretch, plus what to fix before you size up.
You're winning on size, not accuracy — avg win ($236) is 1.69× avg loss ($140). February was your only real down month; March and April carried the edge. On a thin profit factor, a six-loss streak means discipline matters — consider cutting shorts in choppy, low-volatility conditions.
Save the backtest and it opens the full backtesting dashboard — best trade times, trade duration, position reports, tags, and journaling. Dissect what worked and turn it into a plan.
This is the guided way in — the easiest place to start. Pick a setup and we pre-fill the symbol and dates, then point you to where it forms across past sessions, so you learn what to look for before you risk anything.
Each scenario describes the setup in plain words, so you're never staring at a blank chart.
Jump to the sessions where the setup actually formed and replay them one by one.
Practice the same setup across months of data until you can spot it cold.
Long continuation after a strong morning trend day. Find the pullback that holds the prior session high.
Step through real history candle by candle, placing live orders as price moves — practice the execution an automated run can't teach. The only platform with both automated and manual backtesting. No code.
Step your execution timeframe and a higher timeframe in sync, so you keep HTF context while you trade the entry.
Place the same order types you trade live. Fills are modeled bar by bar against real historical prices.
