Backtesting Arena

What is Backtesting Arena?

Backtesting Arena is an MCP server for quantitative crypto backtesting and market-regime analytics. It delivers proprietary outputs—such as DSR-corrected strategy evaluations, look‑ahead‑aware backtest validation, and point‑in‑time Bitcoin cycle scores—that are not reproducible from public OHLCV or market‑data APIs. The platform provides evidence, distributions and base rates, never buy/sell recommendations.

How to use Backtesting Arena?

Authenticate using a Bearer token or claude.ai one‑click OAuth, then interact via the three available channels: REST, MCP, or x402. All 68 tools are visible during discovery; calls to Pro/Power tier tools from the free tier return a structured tool‑error with an upgrade_url.

FAQ from Backtesting Arena

What makes Backtesting Arena different from public crypto data APIs?

Its core outputs—DSR‑corrected strategy evaluations, look‑ahead‑aware validation, point‑in‑time 10‑indicator Bitcoin cycle scoring, macro‑regime composites, and Edge‑Library filter effects—are proprietary and not reproducible from public OHLCV or market‑data APIs.

Does Backtesting Arena give buy or sell recommendations?

No. The platform delivers evidence, distributions and base rates only; it never provides buy/sell recommendations.

Are there rate limits?

Yes, rate limits are enforced at the API‑key level.

How can I access Pro or Power tier tools?

All tools are visible during discovery. When a free‑tier call hits a Pro/Power tool, it returns a structured tool‑error with an upgrade_url—there are no hidden tools, and escalation is transparent.

What authentication methods are supported?

Either a Bearer token or claude.ai one‑click OAuth.
