<\/p>\n

The MetaTrader Strategy Tester tells you the final result. BED BT shows you the journey.<\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n

Running a visual backtest without BED BT means watching candles form and trades open and close \u2014 but having no real-time view of what is happening to your account equity underneath. The balance steps. The floating loss builds. The drawdown peaks. And you only find out how bad it got when the test ends and you read the summary report.<\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n

BED BT puts the equity curve live in your sub-window while the backtest is running.<\/strong> <\/span><\/p>\n

The balance line and equity line are both plotted in real time. The moment your EA's open positions go underwater, the green equity line separates from the cyan balance line \u2014 and the gap is immediately visible. Current drawdown in dollars and percentage updates every tick. The Maximum Drawdown History records the worst trough seen at any point. You watch the risk unfold in real time, not after the fact.<\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n

As demonstrated on the XAUUSD M5 backtest, the balance curve stepped up cleanly through two profitable phases \u2014 then held flat as the EA accumulated buy exposure into a falling gold market. The equity line broke sharply lower, the current drawdown reached 17.1%, and the MDD peaked at 20.37% \u2014 all visible live, bar by bar, while the test was still running. That's the information you need to decide whether the strategy's drawdown profile is acceptable before ever trading it live.<\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n

Stop reading drawdown statistics in a report after the backtest finishes. Watch them happen in real time while you still have the ability to observe, pause, and understand exactly what your EA is doing to the account at every moment.<\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n

\"See the drawdown happen. Not just the damage it left.\"<\/strong> <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

How It Works<\/span> <\/p>\n

When attached to a visual backtest, BED BT plots two live curves and a real-time statistics panel in a dedicated sub-window below the main price chart:<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. <\/span>\ud83d\udd35 <\/span>Cyan Balance line<\/strong> \u2014 the closed-trade cumulative balance, stepping up on profitable closed trades and down on losses; represents the confirmed realized P&L history of the EA<\/span> <\/span><\/li>\n
  2. <\/span>\ud83d\udfe2 <\/span>Green Equity line<\/strong> \u2014 the real-time account equity including all open floating positions; dips below the balance line when open trades are in drawdown, rising above when they are in profit<\/span> <\/span><\/li>\n
  3. <\/span>\ud83d\udcca <\/span>Live statistics header<\/strong> \u2014 displays four key metrics updated continuously:<\/span> <\/span><\/li>\n
  4. <\/span>\u5e73\u8861<\/strong> \u2014 current closed-trade balance value<\/span> <\/span><\/li>\n
  5. <\/span>\u6743\u76ca<\/strong> \u2014 current equity including open position floating P&L<\/span> <\/span><\/li>\n
  6. <\/span>Current Drawdown<\/strong> \u2014 live drawdown in dollars and percentage from the balance peak<\/span> <\/span><\/li>\n
  7. <\/span>Drawdown History MDD<\/strong> \u2014 maximum drawdown ever recorded during the test run, in dollars and percentage<\/span> <\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    <\/p>\n

    The on-chart trade panel in the main price window also shows a live order dashboard displaying current BUY and SELL order counts, lot sizes, Net Gain for each direction, and a <\/span>Close All<\/strong> button \u2014 giving you full real-time position visibility alongside the equity curve without switching windows. <\/span><\/p>\n

    BED BT is a MetaTrader backtesting tool that brings real-time visibility to strategy performance by showing both balance and equity curves live during visual tests, allowing traders to see drawdown as it happens rather than only in post-test reports. It highlights the gap between realized balance and floating equity to reveal active risk, while continuously updating current drawdown and recording maximum drawdown throughout the test. With an integrated on-chart dashboard and zero setup required, BED BT works with any EA to help traders understand not just whether a strategy is profitable, but how much risk and drawdown it takes to get there.<\/p>","protected":false},"featured_media":6120,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"content-type":"","_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false},"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[22],"product_tag":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-2463","1":"product","2":"type-product","3":"status-publish","4":"has-post-thumbnail","6":"product_cat-indicator","8":"first","9":"instock","10":"shipping-taxable","11":"purchasable","12":"product-type-simple"},"bundled_by":[],"bundle_stock_status":"instock","bundle_stock_quantity":null,"bundle_virtual":false,"bundle_layout":"","bundle_add_to_cart_form_location":"","bundle_editable_in_cart":false,"bundle_sold_individually_context":"","bundle_item_grouping":"","bundle_min_size":"","bundle_max_size":"","bundle_price":[],"bundled_items":[],"bundle_sell_ids":[],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/shop.algoforest.com\/cn\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product\/2463","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/shop.algoforest.com\/cn\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/shop.algoforest.com\/cn\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/product"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/shop.algoforest.com\/cn\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2463"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/shop.algoforest.com\/cn\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/6120"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/shop.algoforest.com\/cn\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2463"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"product_brand","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/shop.algoforest.com\/cn\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_brand?post=2463"},{"taxonomy":"product_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/shop.algoforest.com\/cn\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat?post=2463"},{"taxonomy":"product_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/shop.algoforest.com\/cn\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_tag?post=2463"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
