I totally agree with your suggestion to write one's strategy on a laminated sheet. On the job, we call those "Pre Flight Checklists" and "Daily Standard Work". They really come in handy! It's so easy to forget and overlook the simplest and easiest tasks when your in the "heat of it".
You are right. Back testing is hectic and tbh as a beginner i did not really see the need for it as long as my trades were working. But i learnt my lesson the hard way. Back testing is very important. Thank you for this video.
Good analogy. If given the option to count cards or not count cards at a casino, I'm sure most people would! Thankfully, we get that option when we trade forex.
Great vid, I’ve been a ForexSignals member for 1.5 years now, awesome team. I use Trading view for backtesting, just scroll and record manually. I look for a trend on the daily, mark it and zoom in on the 4H which is where I trade. I’ve done this a few times but never know how much testing to actually complete/when to stop?
I didn't make it past the 20 second mark actually. Not cause it's a boring video but because I know all about backtesting and have been doing so for many years now. For those that don't know, you better watch till the end.
Thank you Andrew for sharing this. It actually differentiates winners from losers. Quick question, how do you put multiple TP positions(TP1..TP2..) per single entry on MT4?
It is not that boring. I much prefer backtesting to hanging on twitter, TH-cam or reading news or mail. There are many things one can learn when backtesting. Currently I look into what usually happens at night. Is it safe leaving a trade that has reached 80 % of its target till next day?

Expecting to become a profitable trader without backtesting is like expecting to become a professional athlete without training.
That's a great analogy!
What a great video, I will be back to view this one again as it is so helpful in learning about Backtesting and how important it is. Thank you Andrew.
Glad it was helpful!

Backtesting is analogous to counting cards at blackjack in a Casino. Except that here it is encouraged and in a Casino you're kindly asked to leave.
Good analogy. If given the option to count cards or not count cards at a casino, I'm sure most people would! Thankfully, we get that option when we trade forex.

I made it to the end. May I have a biscuit? :D
I'm more of a reviewing after the trade kind of trader. Then i journal it.
Backtesting is so firm 🔥 It and working the demo is so critical. It gets you in the frame of mind thats unbelievable

Thank you sir
What about backtesting in tradingview?
TH-camr: Bet you won't watch my whole video

Thank you Andrew for sharing this. It actually differentiates winners from losers.
Quick question, how do you put multiple TP positions(TP1..TP2..) per single entry on MT4?
My pleasure, Boniface.
For multiple TPs unfortunately you need to have multiple entries on MT4.
It is not that boring. I much prefer backtesting to hanging on twitter, TH-cam or reading news or mail. There are many things one can learn when backtesting. Currently I look into what usually happens at night. Is it safe leaving a trade that has reached 80 % of its target till next day?
What about trading view
thanks sir
Most welcome
Maybe talk about the wyckoff event that is currently happening?
What is the minimum sample for testing a strategy? HOW MANY TIMES LIKE 100
I never made it to the end. Could I get the cliff notes
😂
Yea
Is it really boring?
If it's not, then you're gonna do very well as a trader!
Great video thank you! How long do you recommend backtesting a strategy for and how far back in time please? Thank you
Weeks to months for me
I am currently on the trial, how do i get forex tester for free

Hello, Alexandre! Captions should now be available. Enjoy!
Back testing doesn’t work because these indicators are lagging - hence it won’t work in real time - not even a trader and can tell u that 👍
Yoo
Why don't you speak sloly.
Your clients aren't all english people@!!
