I will backtest and optimize your mt5 expert advisor
About this Gig
Have an MT5 Expert Advisor and want to know how it really performs, and which settings hold up? I run it in the MetaTrader 5 Strategy Tester with realistic costs, optimize its inputs and send you a clear report.
What I test: Your EA as it is, with your current settings. The inputs you choose, within ranges we agree on first. The best settings again on a forward period the optimization never saw
What you get: Net profit, profit factor, max drawdown, win rate and number of trades. The equity curve and the results by year. Standard and Premium: the best settings in a .set file, ready to load. Premium: several symbols or timeframes and a Monte Carlo stress test - Your prop firm rules checked if you give them: daily loss, max drawdown
How I work: Written communication only, through Fiverr chat. I confirm symbols, period, costs and inputs before starting. I never ask for your trading account: everything runs on my own MetaTrader 5
I am a trader myself, prop firm accounts included.
Important: the best settings of the past are not a forecast. No signals, no ready-made robots, no profit promises.

FAQ
Do you need the source code of my EA?
No. The .ex5 file is enough to test and optimize it, as long as you are allowed to share it. EAs bought on the MQL5 Market are locked to the buyer’s computer, so they won’t run on mine.
Which test mode do you use?
Every tick based on real ticks whenever the history is available, the most accurate mode in MetaTrader 5. I always tell you the mode, the period and the costs used.
Will the optimized settings be profitable?
Nobody can promise that. Optimization finds what worked best in the past, so I check the best settings on a period they were never optimized on. It is not a forecast and not investment advice: you decide what to use.
How do you avoid over-fitting?
Over-fitting means settings tuned so closely to the past that they fail later. I keep few inputs, use reasonable ranges and test the best settings on unseen data. If they only work on the optimized period, I tell you.
Can you test with my broker’s conditions?
Yes, if your broker offers a free MT5 demo account: I test on its symbols, spreads and history. Otherwise I use typical costs for your market and tell you which.
Do you need access to my trading account or VPS?
No. I never ask for your login or remote access. Everything runs on my own MetaTrader 5.
Can you improve my EA after the test?
Yes, with the .mq5 source code: order the extra for a small change, or ask me for a quote for bigger work. I never decompile .ex5 files.
