Forward Testing & Live Validation
Professional forward testing and live validation services for Expert Advisors. Test your EA on live demo accounts with real market conditions and receive detailed performance analysis.
About This Service
Backtesting shows what could have happened. Forward testing reveals what actually happens in live market conditions. Our forward testing and live validation service runs your Expert Advisor on monitored demo accounts with real-time spreads, slippage, and execution conditions for 30-90 days before you risk real capital. We handle complete forward testing infrastructure including multiple broker demo accounts, 24/7 VPS monitoring, daily performance tracking, weekly progress reports, comparison of live vs backtest results, and identification of execution issues. You receive comprehensive validation reports showing actual win rate, real slippage impact, broker execution quality, performance across news events, and honest assessment of whether the EA is ready for live trading. This crucial step prevents costly mistakes and builds confidence before going live. Perfect for traders who have backtested EAs and want real-world validation, developers wanting objective third-party testing, and prop traders needing proven track records.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why is forward testing necessary if I've backtested?▼
Backtesting uses historical data without real spreads, slippage, or execution delays. Forward testing reveals how the EA actually performs with these real-world factors.
How long should forward testing run?▼
Minimum 30 days to capture various market conditions, ideally 60-90 days to include different volatility regimes and see consistency.
Can you test on specific brokers?▼
Yes! We can set up demo accounts with any broker you specify, or test across multiple brokers to compare execution quality and performance.
What if the EA performs poorly during forward testing?▼
This is valuable information! It means the EA needs optimization or isn't ready for live trading. Better to discover this on demo than real money.
Do you provide MyFxBook or FX Blue tracking links?▼
Yes! We can set up public tracking on MyFxBook, FX Blue, or similar platforms so you can monitor forward testing progress in real-time.
