I cloned a $1.99 Gumroad back‑testing profit tracker as a machine — the full technical breakdown

Description and use

Cloned a Gumroad back‑testing profit tracker: free Python CLI outputs key metrics; paid kit adds templates and dashboards.

Problem

Traders often skip back‑testing because spreadsheets are manual, indicators show setups not performance, and win rate alone is misleading.

Outcome

The clone offers an automated back‑testing CLI that outputs key performance metrics, enabling traders to validate strategies before live deployment.

Workflow

• Clone the GitHub repo or download the release zip
• Run python3 backtesting_profit_tracker.py trades-sample.csv --capital 10000
• Review the printed metrics (win rate, profit factor, etc.)
• Edit trades-template.csv to log your own back‑tests
• Use the paid kit for templates, dashboards, and equity curve visualisation

Evidence

Working Python 3 — no dependencies beyond stdlib. Clone the repo or copy from our GitHub release
