Backtesting a trading strategy need not be too complicated. In order to backtest like a pro and have a proper backtesting framework, you need to practice consistency.
A lot of people who go into backtesting in forex do it the wrong way, that’s why they don’t improve. Your backtesting strategy needs to follow a few set of rules.
I want to teach you how to backtest forex the right way so that you can improve as a forex trader. Backteting in forex is not something that most forex traders do because it’s a lot of hard work.
But if you do learn how to backtest the right way, you can become a profitable forex trader.

Karen Foo. Karen, I trade manually. This is how my grandfather trades. He always wins. He trades with a pin and paper. God it's hard to master trading like that. One day I hope I can get to that point.
Backtesting was such a HARD WORK for me as I did it manually, thank God I eventually passed this phase with a clear proven system
here's how I did it:
– 1st: this was the hardest, I documented 3 months of most traded forex pairs (majors & minors), I documented every little detail you could think of in a single losing and winning trade, such as the date, day of week, triggering hour, timeframe, news of the day and previous day, sentiment, pattern, type of pattern, pair caricaturistic, the strength of the trend in all timeframes, winning/losing scenario, chart condition, strength/weakness of the base and quote currency from the last 7 days, what happened after hitting SL or TP level, 1st/2nd attempt?, I even took a screenshot of the trade in the same timeframe and higher, and MUCH MORE, I did all of this in a google sheet.
– 2nd: after that, I spend my time searching for the most COMMON thing(s) in the winning and losing trades.
– 3rd: here I backtested 12 months of those same pairs, using the data I had but this time without watching the results to test my trading skills and decision-making process. I passed the test 😀
I came out with a trading system that works pretty well on Thursdays, with a 60% win rate and an expectancy of 60% positive.
it was worth the hard work.
Hi karen I trade technical analysis for one year and half but I would like to take a deep look at the fundamental analysis what books you recommend thx
Informative video
Great tips!
I keep in mind the law of small numbers, my strategy accuracy is more reliable with more back test conducted.
Wow thanks Karen. I just done backtesting for USDCAD, 2016-2017. 2018 havent finish yet. Luckily your video is up, just on time!
That's true I do backtesting every weekends, using my strategies have learnt like Fibonacci Retracement, trend line channels, gartely patterns and many more strategies for me to analyse the market get prepared for the coming trading time
