Short answer

How can I backtest trading strategies with my AI?

Your AI pulls historical price action and technical indicators to simulate how your rules would have performed. You get a clear view of historical win rates and drawdowns based on real market data.

The results of a backtest

What you get from a simulation

Running a simulation produces specific datasets and insights for your strategy.

DATA

Historical price series

The AI fetches the exact OHLCV data needed for your timeframe. You get a clean dataset ready for calculation.

MATH

Calculated indicators

Your agent computes RSI, MACD, or moving averages directly from the price data. This removes the need for manual spreadsheet work.

LOGIC

Strategy performance

The AI applies your specific entry and exit rules to the data. It identifies every signal that would have triggered in the past.

HUMAN

Strategy refinement

The AI presents the results, but you decide if the strategy is actually viable. You interpret the risk and adjust your rules based on the output.

The workflow

What your AI does when the request arrives.

The AI moves from raw data retrieval to technical analysis and finally to strategy evaluation.

  1. Fetch price data

    The agent pulls the necessary price history for your chosen ticker and timeframe.

  2. Compute indicators

    The AI calculates the technical values required to trigger your specific trading rules.

    get_technical_indicators

  3. Run the simulation

    The agent iterates through the historical data points to find where your rules meet the conditions.

  4. Summarize results

    The AI compiles the hits, misses, and total returns into a readable summary.

FAQ

How this task behaves

  • 01

    Can the AI execute trades for me?

    No. This MCP only provides historical and technical data for analysis. You must execute trades manually in your own brokerage account.

  • 02

    Does the AI store my trading strategies?

    No. The AI processes the data you provide in the chat session, but it does not save your proprietary logic to a database.

  • 03

    Can I get real-time price updates?

    No. The available tools are limited to historical and intraday data for backtesting purposes.

  • 04

    What kind of technical indicators can it calculate?

    The AI can calculate any standard indicator supported by the get_technical_indicators tool.

  • 05

    Can the AI fix errors in my trading code?

    The AI can suggest logic changes based on the data it sees, but it cannot directly edit your local Python or Pine Script files.
