FAQ
A few things worth knowing
What sets ChartLooper apart from other backtesting and journaling software?
Most tools stop once your trades are recorded. ChartLooper starts there. On top of backtesting and live journaling sits a full process for building and improving strategies: connect your trades to a Strategy, research which Trading Concepts actually work, and save the better version as a new Strategy. You can even test new concepts without placing new trades. Then you do it again. Test, trade, research, improve, loop by loop.
Why backtest with ChartLooper?
Because you get through a backtest much faster. Every feature you'd expect is there, from multi-timeframe charts, rewinds and session jumps to Partial Exits and hotkeys, with fewer clicks, fewer drags, no lag and high-quality data. And you can trade several strategy variations in one backtest: analyze once, execute different ideas against the same price action, and compare the results side by side. Still not sure? Try the demo without signing up and get a feel for it.
Why journal with ChartLooper?
Because your journal doesn't just record your trades, it helps improve your strategy. Everything you'd expect is there, from broker sync and CSV import to a P/L calendar, daily plans, checklists and detailed analytics. On top of that, each account feeds a Strategy, so your live trades sit next to your backtests and go straight into Research.
What are Strategies?
A Strategy is the home for one trading approach. Set it up once, connect your backtesting sessions and journal accounts, and every new trade lands in it automatically. You see whether your backtest edge holds up live, and how the Strategy compares with your others. It is also where improvement starts: Research finds a better version, you save it as a new Strategy, then improve that one too. Loop by loop, your strategy gets better.
What does Research do?
Research shows which of your Trading Concepts actually carry your edge, without waiting weeks for new trades. Pick a concept you check at the entry, such as "Pullback into a fair value gap", and test it on the backtests and live trades you already have. You rate each trade before you see how it ended, so hindsight can't skew the result. It works for new ideas and for the concepts you already trade, showing whether, and how much, each one contributes. Then save the better version as a new Strategy and research that one too. Every loop makes your trading a little better.
