Summary

This support note explains how to access trade details from a BigQuant backtest. It says the trade detail page does not offer a direct export, and recommends downloading the results for separate analysis. It also points users to the backtest module’s raw performance output as a source of daily records.

The note distinguishes three record types: LOG for strategy orders and fills, TRA_FAC for daily trading activity, and POS_FAC for daily strategy holdings. These outputs can help reconstruct what the strategy did and what it held over time. The document provides no API example, export procedure, or data schema, so users must consult the platform output or perform their own follow-up analysis to determine the exact fields and format.

Key ideas

  • The trade detail page does not directly export a transaction list.
  • Download backtest results for separate analysis, or inspect the raw performance output.
  • LOG records daily strategy orders and executions.
  • TRA_FAC captures daily trading activity, while POS_FAC captures daily holdings.
