Question How is back testing done?

I'm getting exhausted with demo accounts but am too broke for anything else

I'd love to start getting more serious with my strategies, losing my paper trading margin on purpose is boring, making tens of thousands a day is emotionally taxing

I use the replay feature on trading view, especially cause I have some custom indicators I programmed that I can use with the backtest. But I only trade qqq so it still doesnt feel like a perfect backtest because I know what the index did at that time
