📥 Uploading Manual Entry/Exit Signals

The Allasso Backtester enables you to upload your own custom entry and exit signals using a simple CSV or Excel file format. This is useful for modeling discretionary strategies, overlaying external systems, or testing signals generated by external research or models.

🖼️ Where to Upload

In the Signals section of the backtester:

• Set Select Signal to Upload Signals
• Use the file input to upload your CSV or Excel file

Once uploaded successfully, you’ll see “Upload complete” in green.

📄 File Format Requirements

Your signal file must contain three columns:

✔ If the file is an Excel file, the data must be on the first sheet.
✔ Date format should be consistent throughout the file.

📊 Example File

⚙️ How the Backtester Uses Signals

• Each entry = 1 will be matched to the next exit = 1
• The strategy will enter a position on the entry date and hold it until the corresponding exit
• During the holding period, it will maintain the selected structure, rolling if your DTE rules apply
• If there is no matching exit after an entry, the strategy will continue to hold and roll until the end of the backtest or today’s date (depending on your settings)

🔍 Use Cases

• Upload historical signals from your proprietary model
• Simulate discretionary trade entries and exits
• Test external market indicators or research overlays
