☝️ A clean backtest based on high-quality tick data and real spread is not proof of a robust strategy.
📈 Using Gold or MT4 as an example, we show how an Expert Advisor’s results can change after shifting the quote data 28 years into the past. In the standard backtest, the equity curve looks attractive. After the time-shifted quote test, the trading edge almost disappears.
❗️This does not prove fraud, but it is a serious backtest integrity warning.
In the article: what the 28-year shift test is, how it can reveal hardcoded dates, and how to run a similar check even without Tick Data Suite.
