Yes, you can backtest trading strategies on Angel One. Angel One integrates with Streak, where you can build, test, and run your strategies using past market data—all without coding. You can also use Angel One’s SmartAPI to access historical data for custom backtesting and algorithmic trading.

How to Backtest with Streak on Angel One?

Log into your Angel One account on the app or website, choose the Streak section under external services, and start the strategy builder. Set your entry and exit rules, select historical periods, and run the backtest. Streak shows results like profit/loss, win rate, trade count, and performance graphs. You can then use successful strategies in real trades.

What Does Angel One SmartAPI Offer?

Angel One SmartAPI gives free access to historical market data and live data via API. You can retrieve data for different symbols and timeframes—1‑minute, daily, and more. This helps you build and backtest custom trading systems using coding or third‑party platforms like TradingView or your own script.

Which Platforms Can You Use with SmartAPI?

You can link Angel One SmartAPI with platforms like Stratzy or other algo-trading tools. These platforms let you build strategies, backtest them using Angel One data, and auto-execute trades. This is ideal if you want algo trading with minimal coding.

Why Is Backtesting Important?

Backtesting helps you check how your strategy would have worked in the past using real market conditions. It shows profit, loss, win-loss ratio, and drawdown so you can refine the rules before risking actual money. It builds confidence in your plan and reduces emotional errors.

Are There Any Known Data Limits?

You get historical data going back several years, usually from 2015 onwards for minute-level data and early years for daily data. Free access via SmartAPI is generally enough for retail traders, though very long-term history or tick-level data may require paid sources.

How to Get Started with Backtesting on Angel One?

Start by logging in to Angel One and exploring the Streak feature for no-code strategy building. You can test a few basic strategies first. If you prefer customised strategies, register for SmartAPI, generate your API keys, and connect to external platforms for coding and backtesting. Both routes let you check performance on past data safely.
