The service
Each report applies the accepted strategy configuration and stated assumptions to historical data. Subscription plans provide the displayed history depth, run allowance, and saved-strategy capacity; a report remains an honest result whether the simulation is profitable, unprofitable, or inconclusive.
Ready-made EA purchases
A ready-made algorithm is a separate one-time purchase of the named compiled MetaTrader 5 EA version, private validation summary, setup guide, and personal-use licence. Source code and exact signal rules are not included. Confirm that your broker symbol, contract terms, platform and timeframe suit the listing before buying; ask support if unsure. Historical testing is not live performance and does not guarantee future returns.
Client responsibilities
Clients are responsible for reviewing and approving their submitted rules and assumptions, including any configuration discussed during a free rule confirmation, supplying accurate information including a reachable checkout email address, and having the right to use any uploaded data. A configuration error supplied or approved by the client is not a defect in the backtest.
Historical limitations
Backtests are hypothetical. They depend on the selected data, spread, commission, execution model, candle resolution, and other disclosed assumptions. They cannot guarantee future performance or perfectly reproduce every live-market fill or intrabar event.
Privacy and ownership
Clients retain their rights in submitted strategy rules. Client strategies remain private and are not used in our internal strategy discovery or strategy catalogue. Backtest Software retains its software, report structure, and service materials.
Subscriptions, trial, cancellation, and payments
The permanent free backtester includes 10 exact runs every 30 days. The Discovery trial lasts seven days, includes three complete searches, requires a Stripe-held payment method, and automatically converts to the monthly or annual Research Pro plan selected at checkout unless cancelled before the trial ends. The free backtester remains available during the Discovery trial. Research Pro is USD 29 monthly or USD 290 yearly and includes 20 Discovery searches and 100 exact backtests every 30 days. Unused allowances do not roll over, and paid backtests do not stack with the free allowance. A completed no-match Discovery result consumes one search; a technical service failure restores the affected credit. Billing management is available from the signed-in account after Stripe links the customer. Cancellation preserves Research Pro access through the paid period; when paid access ends, the account returns to the permanent free-backtester allowance. Existing reports and saved strategies remain readable, although new saves are limited by the current plan. One-time purchases remain separate where displayed. Eligible refunds are governed by the Refund Policy.
Availability and responsibility
We work to keep the service accurate and available, but maintenance and outages can occur. To the extent permitted by law, Backtest Software is not responsible for trading decisions, lost trading funds, or indirect losses based on a report.
Changes
These terms may be updated as the service develops. Material changes will be posted here with a revised date. Continued use after an update means the revised terms apply to later orders.
