Daily Straddle Heatmap
AlgoTest heatmaps make it easier for you to understand a clear picture of your trading performance. These heatmaps visually represent data like time, performance metrics, and win rates. Think of them as a map highlighting where your strategies work best and where they stumble. For example, a heatmap might reveal that trades during certain hours of the day consistently yield higher profits.
