Presto™ Back Testing Tool
A. Introduction
Back Testing is the process of testing a trading strategy on prior time periods. By using this, a trader can
do a simulation of their trading strategies on relevant past data in order to gauge its effectiveness. To
automate the Back Testing, a Back Testing Tool (BT Tool) has been developed. With the use of BT Tool,
user can back test different strategies on different days, even if user want to back test for specific time
on specific day. With BT tool we can do the back testing as well as we can run all the components
automatically. With the help of BT tool we do not need to start each component manually. We can select
the components we wish to start for back testing and can run them from BT tool.
B. STEPS TO START BT TOOL

1. To open BT Tool click on “Presto Back Testing.exe”.
2. When user clicks on “Presto Back Testing.exe” BDF, ORS, SimFO/SimCM/SimCDX, SM, Tomcat and
