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

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

Steps:

  1. Go to trysuper.co 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.


Understanding Backtest Results

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

Metric
Description

Total PnL

Net profit or loss you would have earned over the selected period, after all fees.

ROE

Return on Equity — percentage gain or loss relative to your starting balance.

Win Rate

The percentage of trades that were profitable.
