# Running Backtests

Backtests can be ran from a number of different scenarios described earlier, but essentially whenever you confirm a Query, you’ll be able to run a Backtest.  

To run a backtest:

* Configure a Query as you normally would
  * You can also retrieve an already saved Query in the [View/Modify Query](/sol-bangers-only/how-to-get-started/main-menu/query-management/view-modify-query.md) menu
* Click confirm the Query
* The confirmation message window will appear with a Run Backtest button.

* Selecting Run Backtest, will bring up a prompt to name the backtest.  The same restrictions apply to naming backtests as they do Queries.

* On successfully naming your backtest, you’ll receive a confirmation message that your naming was successful.  At this point, your backtest has been added to the queue.

* After receiving the confirmation message, the backtest request is added to the queue and will be ran in the prioritized order based the user’s subscription status.
