Its backtest
What the strategy did on the history it was tested on, from 27 June 2018 to 30 July 2026, as BotFactoryFX measured it when it went into quarantine, with the costs it pays there. A simulated account of 10,000 in the market’s currency, with a fixed size; every figure in % of that account.

The judge is BotFactoryFX’s Reality Check: 13 checks on the strategy, nine of them on history the search never saw. Our bar to put one in quarantine is Solid, 75 or more, on its own market and again on a similar one, judged from the same date.
The search kept its score but not its check-by-check report. Judged again on 1 November 2026 with the same history and settings it scored 92, not 91: some cost or price detail from the evening it was found was not recorded, so the report is not shown.
