Vectester v2.0 — Results dashboard with equity curve, drawdown, and key metrics

Everything new in v2.0

The features that separate a free toy from a professional research platform worth paying for.

Walk-Forward Analysis

Rolling in-sample / out-of-sample validation across N folds. Efficiency ratio quantifies overfitting. The #1 tool serious quants need.

Monte Carlo Simulation

Shuffle trade P&L 100–10,000 times. Equity cones, confidence intervals, P(profit), and median drawdown tell you luck vs. edge.

Multi-Asset Support

Comma-separated tickers for portfolio-level testing. Yahoo Finance, CSV, Parquet, and Binance via CCXT data sources.

Strategy Comparison

Side-by-side table + normalized equity overlay. Compare Sharpe, Calmar, max drawdown, win rate across multiple runs.

Professional Dashboard

Metric cards, equity curve, drawdown chart, monthly returns, trade log — all in a refined tabbed interface.
