How it works

Build. Test. Improve. Repeat.

ForwardTested is built around the boring part that actually matters: defining rules, building carefully, testing behavior, and improving from evidence.

01

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
02

Build before belief.

The output needs to compile, behave, and survive review. A generated file is a draft, not a finished system.

  • Generate MQL5
  • Compile and debug
  • Audit logic and risk
03

Test before trust.

Backtesting should answer questions about behavior, not just decorate the sales page.

  • Winning and losing periods
  • Drawdown and frequency
  • Market conditions
04

Improve from data.

Change one system at a time so each version teaches you something.

  • Document the change
  • Retest the behavior
  • Keep what earns its place
