AlgoBars
Honest backtesting
Backtesting with
no look-ahead bias
Look-ahead bias happens when a backtest uses information that was not available at the time, which makes results look better than reality. On AlgoBars a value on a bar never uses a later bar, trades fill on the next bar, and the same strategy on the same data gives the same result every run, to the last digit. Every strategy runs in its own sandbox with time and memory limits. That is the standard funds and professional desks need to trust a result.
