To ensure the results you see are as realistic as possible, we follow a strict institutional-grade modeling protocol. Here are the details:

1. Modeling Assumptions

Data Quality: We exclusively use "Tick data from server (accurate)". This is the highest precision available in cTrader, ensuring that every price movement (tick-by-tick) is accounted for.

Spread: We use Variable Spreads based on real market conditions (simulating the actual behavior of brokers like IC Markets or Pepperstone).

Commissions: All tests include standard market commissions (e.g., $35 per million USD traded) to ensure net profitability is accurately represented.

Execution: We use the "Market Snapshot" execution mode to account for realistic fills.

1. Sample Backtest Periods While the bot is flexible, our primary optimization samples usually cover:

Standard Period: The last 12 to 24 months (e.g., January 2024 – Present) to capture current market volatility and trends.

Stress Testing: We also run tests on specific high-volatility events to ensure the "Pitchfork Formation Filters" and "Prop Firm Safety Module" (if applicable) handle rapid price swings correctly.

1. Starting Parameters

Capital: $1,000 or $10,000 (depending on the test).

Leverage: 1:500 (standard for our tests).

Symbol: Primarily optimized for high-liquidity pairs like XAUUSD (Gold), EURUSD, and GBPUSD. Visit our Discord: https://discord.gg/Hh8Gmjd5uX
