Make runs comparable
A result is hard to compare if the symbol suffix, broker costs, dates, build or preset changed. Record the exact inputs first.

Why this worksheet matters
Separate evidence from claims
A backtest is a historical simulation. It is not live performance, a recommendation or a guarantee of future results.
Keep a repeatable trail
Use the same plan alongside the report, tester journal and exported settings so you can revisit a result without guessing.
What to do after you make a plan
Use the checklist to inspect data, costs and drawdown. Then test the exact package in your own environment before considering live exposure.
Educational worksheet only
This tool is general information, not financial, legal, tax or trading advice. It does not connect to a broker, place orders, validate a prop-firm rule set or establish that a strategy is suitable. A backtest or demo result does not guarantee future results.
