]Before testing
Open the library, find this recipe by its title and preview the rules. Choose Use template for a built-in entry, or Add to portfolio for a saved entry. Review the copied rules and customize their thresholds and allocations before testing. Choose a historical period and starting capital in the portfolio backtester. Check trade count, drawdown, costs and a benchmark before enabling a paper portfolio. A recipe is a configuration, not a performance result.
A completed test should show the selected period, orders and portfolio statistics. If it records no trades, inspect the entry conditions and selected assets before loosening rules. If market data is missing or the run fails, keep the error and fix the coverage issue before comparing results. Changing a threshold or allocation changes the strategy. Keep the original definition and compare changes on a separate period rather than selecting settings from one favorable result.
