Run the backtest

Hit Start. Watch it trade the historical gold data and read the equity curve and report it produces. No account, no risk.

Illustrative view: the tester build running inside MT5's Strategy Tester on historical XAUUSD data.

A backtest is not the live market

A Strategy Tester run shows how the engine behaved against historical data. No spread surprises, no slippage, no broker outages, no emotion. Real trading has all of those. The tester shows you the mechanics — it is not a promise of what a live account will do.

For that, we keep the live account public. Account 11728403 is broker-locked on Myfxbook — the broker confirms every trade, so we can't fake it. Compare the tester to the tape.

Trading foreign exchange and CFDs (including XAUUSD/gold) involves substantial risk and may not be suitable for all investors. The Elite X Strategy-Tester builds are provided for educational and research purposes only and cannot place live or demo trades. Backtest results are hypothetical, do not reflect live-market conditions such as spread, slippage, or execution, and past performance — including the live account referenced on this page — does not guarantee future results. Nothing here is financial advice. Do not trade with money you cannot afford to lose.
