Forward Testing is now live on AlgoTest! You can now simulate your saved strategies against live market data in real time!
What is Forward Testing?
Forward testing or “out of sample” testing allows users to run their strategies in a simulated manner, without any capital commitment. While backtesting allows you to test your strategy logic against historical market data, with Forward Testing you can test your strategy logic in realtime!
Importance of Forward Testing
We have always maintained the importance of Forward Testing in our trading process. Before we deploy any strategy in the live environment, we forward test it. Now, you can too!
Your forward test results will give you more confidence of going live with your strategy!

Hi,
I have an intraday strategy which starts at 09:30.
I have deployed the same and activated it yesterday around 9’0 Clock.
Yesterday it was executed perfectly but today it is not executed automatically.
Do I have to activate it on every day or I am missing something.
Please Revert.
