STRATCOREALPHA / WRITTEN RULES. VISIBLE EVIDENCE.

Would your rules have broken a challenge limit?

An account can finish a day above its starting balance and still have crossed a loss limit during the day. I compare the account value, including open trades, with one named firm's dated public rules.

Same run, one more check

I freeze the loss limits, reset time and target before the run. Each possible breach points to the recorded time and rule. Missing intraday values or an unknown reset baseline leave the check inconclusive. I do not turn a missing value into a pass. No affiliation with a prop firm is implied.

Getestet #1 now shows a full-period historical MT5 run with frozen rules, native chart and clear limits. The engineering proofs below show specific software behaviour; they are not strategy-performance results.

What this test does not show

This is a historical simulation under stated assumptions, not a forecast. Prices and execution can differ by feed and broker. A test cannot establish future fills, slippage or returns. Changing rules after seeing results can fit past noise. Missing intraday equity can leave a prop-rule check inconclusive. Passing the three rule cases shows that the code followed those cases; it does not mean that a challenge will pass.

Trading risk disclosure

Futures and forex trading contains substantial risk and is not for every investor. An investor could potentially lose all or more than the initial investment. Risk capital is money that can be lost without jeopardizing one's financial security or lifestyle. Only risk capital should be used for trading, and only those with sufficient risk capital should consider trading. Past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results.

Hypothetical performance disclosure

Hypothetical performance results have many inherent limitations. No representation is being made that any account will or is likely to achieve profits or losses similar to those shown. There are frequently sharp differences between hypothetical performance results and the actual results subsequently achieved by any particular trading program. Hypothetical results are generally prepared with the benefit of hindsight, do not involve financial risk, and cannot completely account for the impact of financial risk in actual trading. Market conditions, the ability to withstand losses, and adherence to a trading program can all materially affect actual results.
