What is the custom ETF backtester?

What metrics does the backtester calculate?

It calculates CAGR and total return, risk-adjusted metrics like the Sharpe and Sortino ratios, maximum drawdown, a monthly return heatmap, and sector, market-cap, and geographic exposure. You can benchmark results against SPY, QQQ, VTI, VOO, and VT.

What games can I play on TradeRange?

TradeRange offers Stockle (guess the daily stock in six tries), CandleDojo (identify the candlestick pattern), CandleDirect (call the next move on real 15-minute candles), CryptoSim (paper-trade live Binance markets), AlgoBattle (trade against a real algorithm), and multiplayer modes like Buel and Stockle Multiplayer.
