FX TERMINAL
The Strategy Lab is a complete environment for building, backtesting and optimizing forex trading strategies against a full year of real historical candles. Load a preset or design your own rules, then review comprehensive results — win rate, profit factor, maximum drawdown, risk-to-reward, expectancy, an equity curve, every executed trade with entry and exit points, and rich analytics — all in one professional workspace.
The Strategy Lab turns a trading idea into a tested strategy. Pick a preset or build your own rules visually: nested AND/OR condition groups across 14 indicators, multi-timeframe confirmation, ATR-based stops, fixed risk-reward targets, trailing exits and percentage-of-equity position sizing. No scripting language to learn.
Run it against real historical candles and the lab reports the numbers that decide whether a strategy is worth trading: win rate, profit factor, expectancy, maximum drawdown, average risk-reward, the equity curve, and a full browsable trade history you can sort, filter and search.
A high win rate means little on its own. Profit factor above one with a drawdown you could actually sit through is the real bar, and a strategy that only works on one pair over one year is usually curve fitting rather than edge. Test across several pairs, check the equity curve for a single outlier trade carrying the result, and remember that costs matter — spread and commission are modelled in the trade math.
Every trade in the history links back to the chart with entry and exit connected, so when a strategy fails you can see exactly which market conditions broke it.
