Simulation settings define the environment in which your strategy is tested. They’re not just extra options—they’re essential for making your backtests more realistic, reliable, and actionable.
By configuring things like costs, taxes, reinvestment rules, and simulation dates, you move beyond idealized performance and closer to how your strategy would have worked in the real world.
These settings also help reduce common backtesting biases by adding real-world frictions—so your strategy isn’t just theoretically sound, but actually executable.
The result? Better insights, smarter decisions, and more confidence in what you’re building.
