Backtesting is like trading a Demo account, similar to how Demo eliminates emotions, Backtesting eliminates the friction of time, patience, contemplating exits, the strategy just looks easy and profitable on paper
The advantage: you can discover the data proven win rate of a strategy.
Forwardtesting is like trading a Live account, similar to dealing with emotions on a live account, you encounter emotional and execution friction e.g
⌲ you have to apply patience as the strategy
⌲ handle back to back losses and the doubts that come with them
⌲ contemplate if you are gonna leave with half the loss/profit or skin in the game and wait for it to play out fully.
this is more like testing yourself and with the strategy.
If you only backtested a strategy you haven’t fully tested it until you forwardtest it tooðŸ¤ðŸ¾
Most traders don’t forward test because it takes time and patience.
But backtesting alone won’t give you all the information you need to become profitable, even with a profitable edge.
Learn to forward test too.
That’s where you build confidence, gather real market experience, and discover things backtesting can never show you.

My edge comes from spending a maximum of 1 hour infront of the charts each day, i know my session, my asset, execution on m5/no lower than that. 1h/4h has to be aligned, 1 trade per day. Forwardtest when the urge to trade comes, and let go, i'm in no control of the outcome.

I prefer 40ºcktest and 60%forwardtest. You can catch things that backtesting you don’t see

Next step is keep giving my bot data and let him forwardtest, I found backtesting is good but can't have a good bot with no forwardtests

Trendlines, RSI, fib/pivot points/ATR levels, BB and (E)MA for confluences. Everything else is redundant to the ones I listed and you don't need to use all of these simultaneously.
Last is, do hundreds of back/forwardtest paper trades and define what works and doesn't. Don't add

You must have a system that u wake-up to check for in the market, u must have a system you forwardtest every now and then,in good and bad market. Do not through out ur system because of bad market or because u see someone else caught 10rr. Stay with usrs, marry urs.

Sempat backtest sampai April jadi 4 bulan data utk 2026.
So far so good. Even result mggu ni bila trade dari jam 9pm - 10.35pm meyakinkan dgn 2 wins. Aku faham market selalu berubah tapi data ni sgt membantu utk bagi edge dlm system.
InShaAllah we got this my warrior within 💪

backtesting for beginners (atleast 1year of data) -> forwardtest with demo -> small live account -> beeing consistent and then stay consistent in live markets. 99% skip the first 4 parts and goes straight in the market
