VeighNa Backtests: Account Equity and Post-Run Trade Displays

Summary

A VeighNa community exchange addresses two backtesting questions: whether multi-contract portfolio and CTA backtest modules expose account net value, and how to display or save CTA-style trade records and candlestick charts after a portfolio backtest. The response says the backtester does not provide capital calculations directly, so users who need account equity must calculate and cache it themselves.

For post-run visualizations, the reply points readers to the user interface in the CTA backtester as a reference for implementing comparable outputs. The discussion does not provide implementation details, function names, or a worked example, and it contains no strategy results. It is useful as a brief pointer about framework limitations and where to look when extending reporting, rather than as a complete guide to portfolio accounting or chart generation.

Key ideas
