back testing

Backtesting is a cool way to check how well your trading signals have performed in the past. You gather historical data, create a trading strategy, and see how it would have done in different market conditions. It's like a test run for your signals. Have you given backtesting a shot for your own trading signals?

Sometimes I use a strategy tester when found a new ea that makes it interesting to try, this step just becomes the first step to get a clue performance of its ea, often I found promising ea, but in backtest only good at the beginning, and fail before testing finish.
