MetaTrader 5 Strategy Tester
The data as it is, unpolished
Every result below was produced in the MetaTrader 5 Strategy Tester. We show drawdown as clearly as profit, because that is what decides whether your account survives.
How we test
- 99% history quality · 149,892,450 ticks
- Broker data: ICMarketsSC-Demo — net profit is after commission and swap
- Same period for every tier: 14 Feb 2025 – 27 Oct 2026
- Every one of the 501 trades used exactly 0.1 lot — no martingale, no lot multiplication
- Never more than one position open at a time — no grid, no averaging
Important: Backtest results are simulations on historical data and do not guarantee future performance. Live conditions (spread, slippage, latency, broker policies) can produce different results. Always test on a demo account before using real money.
