What is backtest? What is the difference between Quick Backtest and Full Backtest?

Quick backtest runs simulations of the strategy performance based on historical data with a reduced set of metric calculations and shows the result in real-time. Also, the result of the backtest is not saved when run in the quick mode. Quick back test may take anywhere between few seconds to few minutes depending on the timeframe selected.  You should opt for a full backtest when you want to study the result thoroughly and save it for future reference. A full backtest provides various parameters to analyze the result in comparison to quick backtest. Full back test may take 2 to 3 minutes depending on the timeframe selected. In case funds are not sufficient for all trades to go through, quick backtest might give you inaccurate results. Do perform full backtest, check trades to know that the funds are sufficient and trades are happening!
