The Cloud based back testing is unique and exceptional feature. In so many years in trading I have seen innovation in back testing domain.

Following are the steps
1. Build the strategy
2. In test option Select the instrument, Date range and time frame.
3. Get instant result of your strategy and plan for optimization.

In Free version , you can build two strategies with limited historic data.

"not a trader"...



you don't understand how to trade with patterns therefore you deny that approach. and you don't understand that your volume data is just another dimension of pattern creation but never ever guarantees anything for entries... just a pattern... those who understand how to use patterns do not care how pattern is created (with or without volume data) and yes crystal bals, astralogy etc bushit can be used for patterns creation as well.. problem is not what approach you use to create a pattern but... how particular pattern behave and frequency of pattern and possible outcome of the singular pattern. Then you combine patterns and create portfolios. That's it - so simple. And no magic volume data is needed at all (except to detect liquid assets to trade, with 100k capital with forex majors no worries at all. with 10 mil $ capital Leverage 1:20 trade majors in London/NewYork sessions - see divergence stats for TOP Darwinex trader's track record to understand the importance of volumes). Yes, you can use volume data for pattern creation - but there are plenty of possibilities how to create/combine patterns. Imagination is your only limitation.

It is not a fair communication style you have when you aggressively deny anything else and fool people that volumes info is must have. It is not. You can trade without volumes and this is not blind. Pure statistics. Insurance companies operate for several hundred years and use probabilities to calculate the premiums of the policies they sell. They don't know which particular human being will die or get sick - they operate with a whole portfolio of humans. Trading the same. Only in trading patterns = humans as it is in the insurance business.

maybe I am wrong.. of course, I cant exclude such an option. For now, 3 years of track record shows my approach is quite stable. You can see my darwins in Darwinex which regularly get awarded with capital from Darwinex.. patterns works if used in the right way.

Dear my investors - thank you for trust. But keep in mind - diversify. Never invest all your operational capital in 1 signal provider. Patterns fluctuate. And even portfolio of patterns fluctuate. Therefore combine portfolios where you invest.

Investors mostly act as traders - they just "trade" the balance line of signal providers.

Here was 9% DD for one of my accounts:


several investors jumped off...

now account recovered...

it is a bad idea to invest when the account had recent gains.. better to wait for dd (see history about possible drawdowns) and then start to invest.

Another year of trading comes to end.. here some thoughts regarding my results so far..

Let's start with bad Experienced of one account huge DD at the beginning of 2022.. that was painful. Now at the end of 2022 recovered from the loss. The lesson here... stick to the assets you trade the most and not be greedy.. I set 1 EA too aggressive parameters. Here is how it went:


This account is my own money trading.. no investors attached here. Experimenting here with new EAs..

Ok.. now what was good

3 years breakout patterns working. Here GBPUSD only 1 pattern:


And here are breakouts >1200 days portfolio of 3 symbols (GPBUSD, USDJPY, EURUSD) breakouts patterns and with various SL/TP combinations:


As all pairs with USD then it seems for diversification purposes it don't work.. too correlated results

Here created 1 thread and explained blue print how I create portfolios. I use that approach and create new accounts of various patterns portfolios. Will see after 1-2 years where it goes. This one particular "Notable numbers" results so far:



Thanks to all my investors for your trust. Be careful with my accounts, diversify and better wait for ~10% DD and then jump in

For all traders: not overtrade with EAs too, diversify and make portfolios.

Merry Christmas and happy 2023!

do not argue with an asshole it is a loss of time and energy !
