SCAM #3: Fabricated Backtest Results

How to know if MT4 backtest is done properly:
1) Check backtest “type” and “modeling quality”. It should be performed using “Every tick” modeling type with a 99% modelling quality.
2) Check what spread value was used during the test: fixed or variable spread. If modelling quality is anything but 99% then a fixed spread was used and backtest is likely not very accurate.
3) Look how many “mismatch errors” it has. It should be zero.
4) Look at the time period of the backtest and trade amount. It should be around 10 years long or have at least 100-200 trades (actually trade amount is more important here for statistical significance).
5) Check if modelling type and quality from the backtest report matches with the graph.
