Backtesting lets you test pre-built trading strategies under historical market conditions to determine whether certain scenarios would have worked well in the past. The idea is that if a trading strategy would have performed well previously, it may be worth considering today.
Saved strategies are available to Fidelity customers only.

The Trading Strategies and Backtesting feature and trade signals generated by the strategies are provided for educational purposes and as examples only, and they should not be used or relied upon to make decisions about your individual situation. You may modify the backtesting parameters as you see fit. Fidelity is not adopting, making a recommendation for or endorsing any trading or investment strategy or particular security. The Backtesting feature provides a hypothetical calculation of how a security or portfolio of securities, subject to an example trading strategy, would have performed over a historical time period. Only securities that were in existence during the historical time period and that have historical pricing data are available for use in the Backtesting feature. The feature has only a limited ability to calculate hypothetical trading commissions, and it does not account for any other fees or for tax consequences that could result from a trading strategy. You should not assume that Backtesting of a trading strategy will provide any indication of how your portfolio of securities, or a new portfolio of securities, might perform over time. You should choose your own trading strategies based on your particular objectives and risk tolerances. Be sure to review your decisions periodically to make sure they are still consistent with your goals.
Past performance is no guarantee of future results.
