In short
A trading strategy tester takes a rule with a defined entry and exit and shows how it performed on historical data, and the test is only as good as the rule you can read. Agenttrading restates your idea as an explicit rule card, such as "Entry: 50-day crosses above the 200-day. Exit: cross below", before anything runs, so you always know what is being tested. The rule then runs on 20+ years of split- and dividend-adjusted daily data with a 0.1% cost per trade assumed by default, and the verdict is stamped even when it hurts: the classic AAPL golden cross, tested honestly in our illustration, UNDERPERFORMED buy-and-hold over long stretches, and Agenttrading shows that instead of hiding it. Each result includes the trade count with a small-sample warning, because a rule that traded nine times proves little. Testers built into charting platforms like TrendSpider ($48 to $228 per month) require indicator fluency, and Tickeron ($60 to $250 per month) leads with advertised win rates, the exact habit we avoid. Agenttrading starts at $19 per month: no code, no execution, educational analysis only. Past performance does not guarantee future results.

WHAT YOU GET - STRATEGY TESTER
Strategy tester, run on the bench
Rules you can read, tests you can trust
The tester never runs anything you have not seen. The restated rule card, entry and exit in plain language, is the contract for the whole test.
The losing case stays on the menu
The AAPL golden cross scenario UNDERPERFORMED buy-and-hold in our 20-year illustration, and it ships as a headline example. That is the honesty you want in a tester.
Small samples get called out
A rule that traded nine times in twenty years proves very little. The tester counts trades and says so in plain English before you over-read the chart.
Costs included by default
Every test assumes 0.1% per trade, so a rule that only works with zero costs fails here first. Pro users can set their own cost and slippage assumptions.
HOW IT WORKS - 4 STEPS
From a sentence to a stamped verdict
Type the rule
"Buy the 50/200 golden cross on AAPL, sell the cross down." Plain English is the input format.
Confirm the rule card
Entry and exit restated explicitly before the run. If it is not the rule you meant, rephrase and it updates.
Run 20+ years of history
Split- and dividend-adjusted daily data, dividends reinvested, 0.1% cost per trade by default, and the worst drawdown window shaded on the chart.
Read the verdict honestly
HELD UP, MIXED, or UNDERPERFORMED against buy-and-hold, with trade count and a sample-size warning. Historical, not predictive.

On the same bench
The tester pairs with the trading strategy builder, which turns your sentence into the rule card the test runs on, and with backtesting software for the full bench walkthrough. Swing traders sizing setups should see swing trading tools, and the Tickeron alternative explains why we never advertise win rates.
Your next idea deserves a verdict, not a hunch.
Bring a thesis or a ticker. Agenttrading restates the rule, shows the evidence, runs 20+ years of history, and stamps an honest verdict. You decide.
