Portfolio Simulator & Backtesting
1. Tracking vs. Simulating: The Quantitative Difference
Most retail apps function purely as retrospective trackers, recording past transactions and nominal profit/loss. Final Crypto Tool decouples simple tracking from forward-looking quantitative simulation:
- Real Portfolio Tracking: Maintain your physical positions with custom execution timestamps, fee adjustments, and cash liquidity balances in USD or EUR.
- Hypothetical Strategy Sandbox: Stress-test strategic asset allocations across multiple market cycles (bull runs, crypto winters, and macroeconomic contractions) with benchmark comparisons against Bitcoin (BTC) and the S&P 500.
- Quantitative KPI Cards: Real-time tracking of Annualized Volatility (e.g. 19.42%), Sharpe Ratio (1.15), and multi-timeframe returns (1M, 3M, 6M, 1Y, and Starting Date +235.64%).
2. Backtesting Simulation vs. Global Benchmarks
The Simulation engine allows you to compare your combined portfolio equity curve against leading global benchmarks:
- Benchmark Alpha Tracking: Directly evaluate whether your active asset allocation generates excess returns (α) compared to broad indexes (e.g., MSCI World, S&P 500, or BTC).
- Multi-Timeframe Horizon Filter: Seamlessly zoom across 1M, 3M, 6M, 1Y, 2Y, 3Y, 5Y, YTD, MAX, or from your exact Starting Date.
3. Dual Engine Architecture: Crypto vs. ETF Simulators
Because traditional equities and digital assets exhibit fundamentally different market microstructure, two dedicated calculation engines are provided:
Crypto Portfolio Simulator
Tailored for 24/7 high-volatility markets with extreme asymmetric return profiles:
- Support for top layer-1s, DeFi, and emerging altcoins.
- Live price feeds and instant Weighted Average Cost (WAC) tracking.
- Benchmark alpha comparison against Bitcoin holding returns.
ETF Portfolio Simulator
Engineered for traditional multi-asset indexation and factor investing:
- Extensive database of UCITS (European) and US-listed ETFs.
- Automatic dividend total-return compounding and reinvestment.
- Cash buffer allocation, expense drag, and periodic rebalancing models.
4. Key Quantitative Metrics Explained
| Metric | Standard Mathematical Formula | Strategic Interpretation |
|---|---|---|
| Total Return (%) |
Rtotal =
Vend − Vinvested
Vinvested
× 100
|
Total percentage profit or loss generated across the entire active investment horizon. |
| Weighted Average Cost (WAC) |
WAC =
∑ (Pi × Qi)
∑ Qi
|
True break-even threshold per asset, accounting for multi-tier DCA purchases. |
| Maximum Drawdown (MDD) |
MDD =
Vtrough − Vpeak
Vpeak
|
The worst peak-to-trough capital decline experienced before achieving a new high-water mark. |
| Sharpe Ratio (S) |
Sharpe =
Rp − Rf
σp
|
Measures excess return earned per unit of total annualized volatility (σ). |
| Sortino Ratio (Sd) |
Sortino =
Rp − Rf
σdownside
|
Differentiates harmful volatility from positive upside by penalizing only negative variance. |
5. The Public Ranking Leaderboard
Every portfolio created on the platform is strictly 100% private by default. However, investors who wish to establish a verifiable public track record can enable the Public Toggle on their dashboard. Once public, the strategy is featured on the Crypto Ranking Leaderboard and ETF Ranking Leaderboard, allowing community members to discover high-performing asset allocators.
