Technical Evidence Review · EA scope

Find the gaps in a customer-supplied strategy record.

A bounded technical review for one MT4 or MT5 strategy, whether it came from StrategyQuant, a vendor or your own development process.

Start with context

What you provide.

No source code or account credentials are required for an initial assessment.

  • MT4 or MT5 Strategy Tester report
  • EA version and settings manifest
  • Recorded execution-cost assumptions
  • StrategyQuant project or report, if available
  • Redacted comparison record, if relevant

Evidence review

What RangeState evaluates.

Backtest quality

Review the test period, data quality, modelling method, trade count, settings and whether the result is reproducible.

Cost and execution stress

Test whether the edge survives wider spreads, commission and plausible slippage rather than one favourable cost profile.

Out-of-sample evidence

Separate development from evaluation and examine performance in unseen periods or neighbouring market conditions.

Monte Carlo expectations

Estimate the range of drawdown, losing streaks and return paths that the original trade order may hide.

Live divergence

Where live records exist, compare them with the matching backtest assumptions and investigate material drift.

Customer-defined constraints

Apply cost, symbol or programme rules supplied by the customer and report the historical test result without predicting suitability or success.

Evidence taxonomy

Factual findings with the assumptions attached.

Supported

The defined technical proposition is supported by the supplied record.

Limited

Material assumptions, sensitivities or missing evidence limit the conclusion.

Unsupported

The defined proposition is not supported by the supplied record under the stated assumptions.

These labels apply only to a written technical proposition. They do not mean buy, sell, hold, trade, deploy or stop, and they do not predict future performance.
