| 1 | # Run Backtests |
| 2 | |
| 3 | Use this skill when the user wants to run a MetaTrader 5 backtest from the terminal. |
| 4 | |
| 5 | ## Command |
| 6 | |
| 7 | Run the main MetaTrader 5 installation with a tester `.ini` file: |
| 8 | |
| 9 | ```powershell |
| 10 | Start-Process -FilePath 'C:\Program Files\MetaTrader 5\terminal64.exe' -ArgumentList '/config:C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Roaming\MetaQuotes\Terminal\<terminal-id>\config\codex-fvgtrader-gbpusd-lastmonth-v2.ini' -Wait |
| 11 | ``` |
| 12 | |
| 13 | Use that command pattern for backtests in this workspace. |
| 14 | |
| 15 | ## Required Workflow |
| 16 | |
| 17 | Before running the test, ask the user for the configuration field by field. |
| 18 | Do not assume the final setup without confirming each field first. |
| 19 | When asking for a field, use JSON Schema style notation like this: |
| 20 | |
| 21 | ```json |
| 22 | { |
| 23 | "type": "object", |
| 24 | "properties": { |
| 25 | "risk_level": { |
| 26 | "type": "string", |
| 27 | "description": "Select your preferred risk level", |
| 28 | "enum": ["low", "medium", "high"] |
| 29 | } |
| 30 | }, |
| 31 | "required": ["risk_level"] |
| 32 | } |
| 33 | ``` |
| 34 | |
| 35 | Use the same notation for backtest questions. Add `enum` options whenever the field has a bounded set of valid choices. |
| 36 | |
| 37 | Ask in this order: |
| 38 | |
| 39 | 1. Expert or strategy file. |
| 40 | 2. Symbol. |
| 41 | 3. Timeframe. |
| 42 | 4. Date range. |
| 43 | 5. Deposit. |
| 44 | 6. Deposit currency. |
| 45 | 7. Leverage. |
| 46 | 8. Tick model. |
| 47 | 9. Optimization on or off. |
| 48 | 10. Visualization on or off. |
| 49 | |

| 51 | |
| 52 | 1. Expert or strategy file: |
| 53 | |
| 54 | ```json |
