Use history to diagnose the rules
Run a fixed version on a recorded date range. Check the order sequence and look for outcomes that depend on one favorable period or cost assumption.
VCM / TRADING GUIDES
MT5 Demo Forward Testing vs Backtesting
A backtest replays a past market window. A demo forward test watches how the rules behave as new quotes arrive.
Use demo to observe operations
Run the same version on a broker demo. Check that the bot starts correctly, records trades and handles disconnects and rejected orders. Note when the demo feed and backtest assumptions differ.
Compare behavior with a shared log
Record the symbol, settings, spread, entry time and exit reason for each observed trade. Compare rule behavior separately from profits so you can tell what actually changed.
