Futures backtesting with Quanify Replay

Quanify Replay is a futures backtester in development. Besides testing a rule over history, it will review your recorded fills for habits that cost you money. It isn't released yet.

Where backtests go wrong

A backtest shows how a rule would have done in a market that already happened, built by someone who knew what came next. Use it to reject bad ideas cheaply.

Costs alone move the result: a strategy averaging $30 a trade gives up more than an eighth of it to $4 of commission and slippage.

  • Overfitting: tuning until the rule fits noise
  • Survivorship: instruments that stopped trading are missing
  • Look-ahead: a calculation uses a bar it couldn't have seen

The AI trade review, planned

Questions a backtest can't answer, asked of your own fills.

Patterns with evidence
Shows a repeated behaviour with the trades behind it, rather than a grade.
Habits over time
Is your worst hour the same every week? Does your size creep on Fridays?
After a losing session
Do you cut winners early the day after a loss?

What you can use today

Forward testing works now. Testing over history waits for Replay.

Questions

Common questions

Short answers to what traders ask first. Anything else, the Help Center has it.

Is Quanify Replay available yet?

No. It's in development with no announced date. Paper accounts and forward-test records are available now and cover forward testing.

What is Quanify Replay?

A backtesting and market-replay tool being built for the Quanify platform, with an AI review layer that analyses your own recorded fills for repeated behaviours rather than only scoring a strategy.

How is it different from other backtesters?

Most backtesters show whether a rule would have made money. Quanify already holds your real executions, so the review can look at what you repeatedly do.

Can I backtest a strategy on Quanify today?

Not over history. You can forward-test one: attach it to a paper account, where it fills from live signals with your costs applied, or run it on a simulated broker account.

Are backtest results reliable?

Treat a backtest as a hypothesis. Overfitting, survivorship bias, look-ahead and omitted costs all flatter a result. It's good for rejecting bad ideas cheaply.

Will it cost extra?

Replay pricing hasn't been announced. Copy Trader pricing is on the pricing page.
