EntryBench/BACKTESTING & PRACTICE
BACKTESTING & PRACTICE

Give every test a record you can review.

A forex backtesting workflow needs a clear distinction between market history, generated practice, and the record used to review a strategy. EntryBench connects those review steps without treating them as the same evidence.

01

Choose the test that matches the question.

HISTORICAL STRATEGY TEST

TradingView

Use TradingView’s native strategy tools and available market history. An editable Pine strategy starter can be exported from EntryBench, then reviewed and tested in TradingView.

  • Pine Editor and Strategy Report run on TradingView.
  • Available history and replay features depend on TradingView’s data and plan.
  • Export completed results to review in a Demo portfolio.
Follow the TradingView workflow
GENERATED PRACTICE

EntryBench Replay

Practice opening and managing paper positions on deterministic synthetic candles. Hide future candles, advance the replay, and review the resulting practice tape.

  • Synthetic EURUSD, GBPUSD, and XAUUSD scenarios.
  • Fixed $100 original risk and a $2 simulated cost assumption.
  • Up to five take-profit levels with partial exits and session recovery.

02

Test the decision, then review the assumptions.

DECISION LAB

Commit before the reveal

Record take or skip, direction, stop, target, forecast confidence, and reasoning before twelve synthetic outcome candles appear. Saved account decisions receive server timestamps. Calibration excludes recognized and repeated first exposures.

EDGE LAB

Compare a risk scenario

Explore a fixed-balance arithmetic scenario using recorded R, a different risk percentage, costs, and an emotional-trade filter. The original journal remains intact; the modeled path is a hypothetical comparison.

03

Record enough detail to challenge the result.

  1. 01

    Write the rule first

    Put entry and invalidation rules in a playbook. Distinguish a rule-following loss from a rule-breaking win in your review.

  2. 02

    Keep the source visible

    Record whether a trade came from actual trading, a historical strategy test, or synthetic practice. Keep test outcomes in a Demo portfolio.

  3. 03

    Review costs and ambiguous candles

    Understand the assumptions behind a result. In EntryBench synthetic replay, stops resolve before targets when the same candle touches both. Adverse stop gaps use the opening price.

  4. 04

    Look for limitations

    A small sample, recognized scenario, changed execution cost, or missing risk value can change what a result means. Training metrics do not establish real-market skill.
