Important Notes & Limitations:

This tool backtests your defined swing trading strategy (SMA entry, ATR-based exits) using the historical data you provided.
Entry Signal: Buys when the closing price crosses above the specified Simple Moving Average (SMA). Sells (exits position) based on ATR stop-loss or take-profit. This is a long-only strategy.
Buy & Hold Benchmark: Buys the stock at the start of the usable data period (after initial MA/ATR calculation) and holds until the end.
Past Performance is Not Future Guarantee: Historical results do not predict future outcomes.
No Slippage: Assumes trades execute exactly at the calculated entry, stop-loss, or take-profit prices. Real-world slippage can impact results.
No Taxes: Capital gains taxes are not considered.
Data Quality: The accuracy of the backtest depends entirely on the quality and consistency of the historical data entered.
Optimization Bias: Repeatedly testing different parameters on the same historical data can lead to over-optimized strategies that may not perform well in the future.
