Define before code.
An EA cannot read your mind. The strategy needs clear rules before AI or MQL5 enters the room.
- Entry conditions
- Exit and invalidation rules
- Risk and session constraints
ForwardTested is built around the boring part that actually matters: defining rules, building carefully, testing behavior, and improving from evidence.
An EA cannot read your mind. The strategy needs clear rules before AI or MQL5 enters the room.
The output needs to compile, behave, and survive review. A generated file is a draft, not a finished system.
Backtesting should answer questions about behavior, not just decorate the sales page.
Change one system at a time so each version teaches you something.
