STOP WASTING HOURS OF YOUR TIME BACKTESTING ‼️



Here's why:

During backtesting, your mind is wired to spot only the setups that worked. You subconsciously overlook the failed or unclear price action, which creates a false sense of edge.

This is why backtesting alone is not enough. It shows what could work under ideal, hindsight conditions but the market doesn’t offer hindsight in real time.

Forward testing is where a real trading edge is built. It forces you to make decisions without knowing the outcome, manage risk under uncertainty, and experience the psychological pressure that backtesting can’t replicate.

An edge isn’t proven by how good a setup looks on past charts, but by how consistently it performs in live market conditions over time.

Backtesting gives you confidence; forward testing gives you truth.
