How can I request a feature?
We are always looking for ways to improve the website. If you have any suggestions, please contact us.
When do you add new features?
We are working on new features all the time and update the website almost daily.
Can you add another Index?
Currently we rely on the S&P 500 for our backtests, because the data goes back to 1885. Working on such a long timeframe enables us to offer tools and statistics that really stand the test of time.
Others may make you believe that backtesting till 1990, 1980 or even 1970 is enough, but it's not. A great example is The Great Depression, that began in 1929. Check out the backtest.
