Quick Start Tradomate Screener Backtesting

The Screener Backtest in Tradomate is designed to let traders test their screening ideas against historical data - bridging the gap between stock discovery and strategy validation. Instead of just finding stocks that fit your rules today, the Screener Backtest shows you how those rules would have performed in the past.

This helps you measure profitability, consistency, and risk before committing capital, so you can trade with confidence.

Understanding the Results

Once the backtest is complete, Tradomate presents your results in two views - Overview and Deep Dive - helping you understand both the big picture and the finer details of your screen’s performance.

Overview Tab

The Overview section gives you a high-level summary of your backtest. You’ll see the stock and sector with the best win rates, along with the weekday that historically performed strongest. Visual charts help you quickly interpret results:

Avg. Returns vs Win Rate shows how each stock performed, with higher win rates and stronger returns clustering in the top-right corner: your ideal candidates.
Distribution of Backtested Returns reveals how consistent your strategy has been, with narrower spreads suggesting steadier results.

The video below explains the importance of both the charts

Deep Dive Tab

The Deep Dive section breaks down performance in detail, letting you analyze results across different stocks, timeframes, and occurrences.

The Timeline view highlights when your strategy performed best, with a heatmap of average returns and number of occurrences over time.
The Performance view lists every stock that matches your screen, along with win rates, average returns, and how many times it appeared during the test period.

This granular breakdown helps you identify which stocks consistently benefit from your strategy, and which ones may be adding risk without reward.
