## Short answer

You can backtest your chart patterns and indicators using the Chart to Backtest (CTB) feature, powered by Arrow. This feature converts your plotted charts and indicators into conditions and generates backtest results.

To use the backtest feature:

Open your chart on Arrow app or Arrow web.

Click on the Arrow icon to start backtesting.

## Arrow web

## Arrow app

## Supported indicators

You can backtest using these indicators:

Money Flow Index

ADX

Moving Averages

Williams %R

Stochastics

Moving Average Deviation

Supertrend

Bollinger Bands

PSAR

Pivot Points (Standard)

Volume

MACD

CCI

VWAP

Detrended

If you use an unsupported indicator, the system will perform your backtest based on price action strategy.

## Supported timeframes and chart types

You can backtest on these timeframes: 1, 3, 5, 10, 15, 30 minutes, 1 hour, and day candles. If you run a backtest on an unsupported timeframe, the system will adjust to the nearest supported timeframe.

CTB works only with Candlesticks and Heikinashi chart types. If you select an unsupported chart type, the system will consider Candlesticks by default. For detailed information about CTB, see Arrow support.

## Things to keep in mind

BSE and BCD (BSE Currency) segments are not supported.

CTB is not trading or investment advice. iRage does not recommend any indicators or strategies. The CTB function on Arrow charts helps you understand how an instrument has performed over time in a user-friendly format.
