🔬 FORWARD TEST
MEGAMAX Forward-Test Plan
Proving over a 3-month demo what percentage of the BT theoretical value (+9.4%/mo) is reproduced in live operation
★ Why it's needed: there is always a gap between BT (past) and Live (future).
★ What we measure: the BT vs Real difference in monthly return, PF, DD, and win rate.

* Being a demo account, there is no capital risk; this is purely for logic verification. It is not a recommendation to trade live.
WHY FORWARD TEST
❓ Why Forward Testing Is Necessary
MEGAMAX EA achieved +9.4%/mo (GBPUSD) in a 10-yr Dukascopy BT. A walk-forward retention of 115% also proved it is not overfit. However, whether it "works as in the BT" can only be proven through live verification.
📊 BT Theoretical
GBPUSD +9.4%/mo / DD 10.0%
🔥 Live Projection
Expected to drop to 50-100% due to slippage and spread variation
✅ Verification Goal
Measured monthly return = BT monthly return × X% (X determined by empirical verification)
Choosing a Demo Account (broker comparison)
To test under the same conditions as live, use the demo of your preferred broker
| Broker | Demo Account | max lot/order | Recommendation |
|---|---|---|---|
| ★ Exness Pro | Unlimited-balance demo available | 1000+ | ★ Most recommended (100% BT reproduction) |
| HFM Premium | $50K Demo | 500 | Recommended (86% reproduction) |
| XM Standard | $10K Demo | 50 (1000 if split) | OK with v2.1 splitting |
| IC Markets True ECN | $10K Demo | 500 | Recommended (low spread) |
💡 An initial balance of $670 (100k JPY) is recommended — comparable under the same conditions as the BT.
Installing MEGAMAX EA
Exactly the same setup procedure as live
- Log in to the demo account in MT5
- MEGAMAX_BUNDLE.zip Download

BT vs Real Error Measurement
Evaluation criteria after 3 months
| Metric | BT theoretical (GBPUSD) | Real measured (to be filled in) | Retention | Criteria |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| PF | 0.72 | - | ? | >1.0: ✅ profitable / <1.0: ❌ negative expectancy |
| Win Rate | 18.4% | - | ?% | Reference value (low win rate due to the TP2-targeting strategy) |
| Max DD | 99.0% | - | ? | <30%: ✅ / >50%: ❌ |
| Trades/month | 15-25 | - | ? | Live-based estimate |
💡 If all items are "✅ success," you may move to a live account. If even one is "❌," investigate the cause (change broker / review settings).
