What to inspect
Start with symbol, timeframe, deposit, date range and modelling quality. Then compare total trades, profit factor, expected payoff, maximum drawdown, recovery factor and consecutive loss behaviour.
Backtest limitations
Historical simulations can be affected by spreads, execution assumptions, data quality, optimization and market-regime changes. A strong report is evidence for research, not proof of future profit.
Backtest versus observed data
Simulated results remain separate from read-only demo or live MT5 account observations so each figure’s source and date are understandable.
