RealTest VS Optuma: Best Backtesting Software
RealTest’s strategy workflow is:
- Clean
- Minimalistic
- Focused on full system definition
Its scripting language reads like a strategy specification, not a programming language.
This keeps traders focused on:
- Entries
- Exits
- Position sizing
- Portfolio rules
- Risk control
All without programming overhead.
Optuma uses its proprietary Optuma Script Language (OSL) to build studies and signals.
OSL is powerful, but it is designed primarily for:
- Custom indicators
- Chart-based rules
- Visual analytics
Full workflow system development is not the software’s core purpose.
Users often fall into the discretionary trap of visually validating ideas instead of building robust rules.
