RetroTrade is a back testing framework for trading stategies.

The idea of a back testing is running your strategy on historical data to see how it would have performed. RetroTrade does just that: Gives you a glimpse of what would have happened. There are multiple intracracies to back testing ranging from hidden biases such as survivor ship bias to look ahead bias that a back testing framework can never detect so the quality of any testing framework is highly dependent on the data you feed it and the strategy implementation.
