Manual Results stores tested strategy configurations so you can compare changes and return to an earlier setup. It is a research history, not a ledger of live broker orders.
Understand when a record is added
Each record preserves the tested configuration, including its relevant rules and parameters. An empty tab means there are no manual results to show for that strategy, or a filter is hiding them. Manual Results is available for Basic and Meta strategies; a Multi strategy combines its component strategies instead of exposing the same rule-configuration history.
Find and compare useful results
| Control | Use |
|---|---|
| Favorite star | Mark a result you want to find again. Use the favorites filter to show only starred records; clear it to see all records. |
| Date started | Use the displayed timestamp to identify a test record. An unchanged rerun can update a record, so the list is not a separate immutable log of every run. |
| Manage Columns | Choose the metrics you want to compare, including the available all-sample, in-sample and out-of-sample variants. |
| Memo | Record what changed and why the result matters. Edit the memo and use Save Changes when that control appears. |
A useful memo says what you changed: for example, “Adjusted the ranking lookback; kept the same date range and SOOS reservation.” This is more informative than a label based only on the best return.
Load an earlier configuration
- Find the intended record using its memo, date, metrics and favorite status.
- Choose Load Parameters. This restores that record’s strategy configuration, so review any confirmation the application displays.
- Inspect the loaded settings before starting another manual backtest.
- Rerun the manual backtest when you need the report tabs populated for the loaded configuration.
Loading parameters and generating reports are separate actions. The resulting record follows the same modified-versus-unchanged behavior described above. Do not use an older instruction that promises a new history item on every rerun.
Remove unneeded result records
Use the row’s delete action for one record, or select the records and use the tab’s delete action where available. Read the confirmation and verify the selected records. Deleting a stored result removes that recovery point from this history.
Keep important strategy exports and database backups independently of the results list. For machine-learning candidate tables, use the separate Divine Engine Test Results guide.
