Results & Metrics

Backtest results include:

  • Equity curve and drawdowns
  • Performance metrics: Sharpe, Sortino, Calmar, CAGR
  • Risk metrics: VaR, CVaR, skewness, kurtosis
  • Trade analytics: win rate, profit factor, average win/loss

Annualized return (CAGR)

annualized_return is reported as a compounded annual growth rate (CAGR), not a simple linear scaling:

  • total_return is the cumulative return at the end of the backtest
  • years = N / 252 where N is the number of daily return observations (252 trading days/year)
  • annualized_return = (1 + total_return)^(1/years) - 1

Results are persisted for later analysis and reporting.
