The backtests shown were run using several periods to demonstrate the strategy's performance across different market conditions on the GBPJPY m1 chart.

1. Backtest Periods
   We provide results for multiple periods to show both long-term consistency and recent performance. The periods visible in the images include:

Long-Term (Approx. 5 Years): e.g., 01/09/2020 - 02/09/2025

Mid-Term (Approx. 3 Years): e.g., 01/09/2022 - 01/09/2025

Recent (Approx. 1 Year): e.g., 01/09/2024 - 01/09/2025

Year-to-Date (Approx. 8 Months): e.g., 01/01/2025 - 01/09/2025

1. Modeling Assumptions
   All backtests were conducted using the following standard assumptions within the cTrader platform:

Platform: cTrader 5.4.x

Initial Balance: 100,000

Data Model: The tests used cTrader's high-precision modeling, which relies on Tick data (when available) or M1 (OHLC) historical data provided by the server. This is essential for accurately simulating intra-bar price movements and gap detection.

Spread: The backtests were run using historical variable spreads provided by the platform. This ensures a realistic simulation of trading costs, as fixed spreads do not reflect real market conditions (especially around market open/close where gaps occur).

1. Key cBot Logic Assumptions (Fixed Settings)
   This demo version operates with specific hard-coded settings to ensure consistent logic:

Trade Direction: Long Only (Buy trades only)

SL/TP: 40 Pips Stop Loss / 40 Pips Take Profit

Partial Close: Closes 50% of the position at +20 Pips profit and moves the Stop Loss to breakeven.

Spread Filter: The bot logic includes a safety filter and will not open a trade if the live spread is greater than 10 Pips.

Time Exits: Positions are forcibly closed on Friday at 20:00 (Server Time) or after 1440 minutes (1 day).
