Backtest results are hypothetical and simulated. Hypothetical or simulated performance results have inherent limitations. Unlike actual trading results, simulated results do not represent real trading.

Simulated trading programs are designed with the benefit of hindsight. Past performance — whether actual or simulated — does not guarantee future results.5. Data Resolution and Execution Modeling
