Strategy

Have an idea for a trading strategy? Test how it would have performed in the past by running a backtest in the Strategy application.

Test your trading hypothesis

Should you buy every time a stock's RSI falls below a threshold? Or sell when the company misses earnings expectations? Define your set of trading rules and then simulate how they would've performed historically. Palantir's open-ended system allows you to quickly write a simple strategy or design a sophisticated set of rules involving hundreds of instruments.
