Frequently asked questions
Why does tick-data backtesting matter?
Because OHLC backtests hide what actually happens inside a bar. EV Quant Lab runs on Dukascopy tick data with 6 years of history included, so intrabar sequence, spread and slippage are modelled instead of assumed. Low-timeframe and news-driven results are where the difference shows up most.
What does walk-forward optimization add over normal optimization?
It tests whether your parameters survive on data they were not fitted to. Rolling and anchored walk-forward both produce out-of-sample results plus a robustness score and per-window breakdown, which is how you separate a real edge from a curve fitted to history.
Does my data or strategy leave my machine?
No. EV Quant Lab runs entirely locally on your Mac — no cloud upload, no data subscription. Your strategies and results stay on your own disk, which is the point for anyone testing an edge they intend to trade.
Can it check whether a strategy fits prop firm rules?
Yes. Strategies are evaluated against FTMO, E8 and MyFundedFX rule sets automatically, and the EA Lab reads any .mq5 file to extract inputs, flag prop firm compatibility issues and generate the matching .set files.
Do I need to code to use it?
No for testing, yes if you want custom logic. You can backtest and optimise existing strategies and .mq5 files without writing code; the genetic evolution module then builds and ranks strategy variants for you across generations.
