Backtesting

Backtesting allows you to simulate how a copy trading strategy would have performed historically — before committing real capital. This feature provides insight into potential performance, accounting for both SuperX and Hyperliquid fees, so you can make informed trading decisions.


How to Run a Backtest

circle-info

Currently, Backtesting is available only on the SuperX web app.

Steps:

  1. Go to trysuper.coarrow-up-right and open the detail page for any trader or vault.

  2. Scroll down until you find the Run Backtest button (located below the trader’s performance metrics).

  3. Configure your settings:

    • Starting Balance: The USD amount you would have allocated.

    • Copy Size Multiplier: Choose how much to scale the trader’s position size (e.g., , 0.5×, ).

    • Time Frame: Select the historical period to test (e.g., 1D, 7D, 12D).

  4. The backtest runs automatically and generates your simulated results.

Once the backtest completes, you’ll see a performance summary including:
