EdgeTest lets you describe a trading strategy in plain English, like "buy when RSI drops below 30", and instantly backtests it on roughly 10 years of real market data. You get honest metrics - CAGR, drawdown, win rate, profit factor - with brokerage, taxes and slippage already deducted.
There is a free plan, and it is free forever with no card. It gives you unlimited backtests - the count is never the limit - on 3 years of history and the Nifty 50, plus 1 tracked and 3 saved strategies.
What you pay for is data depth: the full history we hold, every listed company, and options backtesting. You can try the paid Starter plan free for 7 days first, once, with no card and nothing to cancel.
No. You describe your idea in normal English and the AI builds the strategy. There is also a visual builder if you prefer clicking to typing, and the two stay in sync.
With your Google account, at edgetest.in/auth/login. There is no separate password to manage.
Yes. On a computer, use the sun and moon switch in the top bar. On a phone, open Menu and pick Light or Dark under Appearance. You can also set it on your Account page. When you are signed in the choice is saved to your account, so it follows you to a new device. The Desk always stays dark.
Yes. Every result already reflects brokerage, STT, exchange charges, SEBI fees, stamp duty, GST and realistic slippage. The exact assumptions are listed on every report, so there are no fantasy numbers.
For index options, yes. Switch a strategy from Daily to Minute in the options terminal and the position opens at a chosen time, is checked on every one-minute bar rather than once at the close, and can be squared off at a clock time. That makes same-day strategies testable: enter at 9:20, close at 3:15, with stops and targets seen the moment they are touched instead of at the end of the day.
Two limits worth knowing before you rely on it. In the options terminal it covers NIFTY (the Beta page also holds BANKNIFTY options and stocks), and it runs on a fixed archive of one-minute history that does not update every evening the way our daily data does, so the terminal shows you exactly which dates are available and refuses a period outside them rather than quietly testing a shorter window. Equity strategies are still end-of-day only.
Minute-by-minute testing is part of Pro.
About 3,200 listed companies today, plus about 370 ETFs, REITs and InvITs, each with its own page at /etfs. The count moves as companies list and delist. There is also IPO Watch at /ipo for open and upcoming issues and how past ones performed on listing day.
The depth is not the same everywhere, and it matters more than the count. Within those 3,200, roughly 500 companies, mostly today's Nifty 500, are the deep-history set: a median of about 18 years each, some reaching back to the 1990s. Everything beyond that set begins in 2016 and has a median of a little over three years, so a ten-year test on those has fewer years to actually test.
You are told this on the report itself, not just here: any run that reaches companies outside the deep-history set says so, and warns that they trade far less - some a few thousand rupees a day - so the fills it assumed may not have been available at the price shown.
Company financials, used by the fundamental filters and the screener, cover 2,308 companies. Options cover five indices back to 2016.
Yes. Portfolios runs up to 5 saved strategies on ONE account: one cash balance, one margin pool, one timeline, and equity and options can be mixed.
It is a real co-simulation, not a sum of separate backtests. If one strategy is holding the cash, another genuinely cannot buy - the report counts every time that happened, and tells you whether splitting the money actually reduced the worst fall or not.
Yes. At the top of the builder you can switch from buying on signals to holding a ranked basket: score every company on factors like 12-month momentum, return on equity or valuation, hold the best N of them, and rebalance weekly, monthly or quarterly.
Each factor is converted to a percentile before the scores are combined, so a measure with bigger raw numbers cannot quietly decide the whole ranking.
Yes. Pick Single company in the universe step, or just tell the chat, for example "test this only on Reliance".
NIFTY and BANKNIFTY from 2016, FINNIFTY from 2021, MIDCPNIFTY from 2022, and NIFTY Next 50 from 2024. Stock options are not backtestable yet.
That is usually not a bug - the entry conditions simply never triggered in the chosen period or universe. The results page explains why. Try loosening the entry condition, widening the universe, or extending the period.
During market hours (9:15 AM to 3:30 PM IST, Monday to Friday) the public pages refresh through the session, and each one shows when its data was last taken. Outside market hours they show the last close, labelled with its date. Backtest data updates every trading evening.

Yes, from the Account page or by emailing support@edgetest.in. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the billing period and you keep access until then. Rather than a money-back guarantee we give you a 7-day free trial of Starter, so you can test the paid features fully before paying anything; fees are otherwise non-refundable, except where the fault is ours, such as a duplicate or erroneous charge. See the Cancellation and Refund Policy for the full terms.
Yes. Your saved strategies and backtest results are private to your account. We do not sell your data.
No. EdgeTest is analysis only: it never touches your broker account, never places orders, and never handles your money.
No. Nothing on EdgeTest is investment advice or a recommendation. Backtests are historical simulations, and past performance does not predict future results. Read the Risk Disclosure for the full picture.
No. Daily Strategy Signals simply re-run YOUR tracked strategy on each new day of data and tell you what your own rules would have done, with virtual money. It is forward testing, not advice.
