## What is PocketBacktest?

How would that portfolio actually have done?

Type the tickers, set the weights, pick a period, tap Run Backtest. You get a
clean growth chart and the numbers that matter. In about ten seconds, with no
account and no spreadsheet.

BUILD IT YOUR WAY
• Save multiple portfolios of stocks, ETFs, and crypto
• Start from a preset - 60/40 Balanced, All Weather, Three-Fund, Total Nasdaq,
Crypto Blend and more
• Split weights evenly with one tap, or type them to the decimal
• Duplicate a portfolio to try a variation without losing the original
• Swipe to delete; each portfolio keeps the colour it uses on the chart

TEST IT PROPERLY
• Periods from 1 week to 5 years, YTD, or the full available history
• Rebalancing: Buy & Hold, Monthly, Quarterly, or Annually
• Add recurring contributions - daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly or yearly
• Set your own risk-free rate for the risk figures

THE NUMBERS
• Total return, CAGR, and ending balance
• Money-weighted return (MWRR) once you are adding contributions
• Maximum drawdown - the worst peak-to-trough fall along the way
• Volatility, Sharpe, Sortino, Calmar, and beta
• Contributions are excluded from the return maths, so money you paid in is
never counted as growth

READ THE CHART
• Compare every portfolio on one chart, side by side
• Drag to inspect any single day; press and hold, then drag, to measure a range
• Turn the phone sideways for a full-screen chart
• Optional log scale, or start everything at 100 to compare shape rather than
dollars
• Export a run as CSV and a chart image, zipped and ready to share

MADE TO LIVE ON YOUR PHONE
• Ten themes, each with a genuine light and dark version that follows your
System setting
• Portfolio Pulse widget keeps your last run on the home screen
• Ask Siri: "Run a backtest in PocketBacktest"
• Full Dynamic Type, VoiceOver labels, and Reduce Motion support
• Prices are cached, so recent runs still work with a weak connection
