# EA Trade Tester by TrueTest

> Backtest MT5/MT4 EAs, trading bots & indicators: code faults, up to 16 years, real costs, luck check. Honest results, on the record. Not financial advice.

Paste MT5/MT4 EA, Python bot or indicator code, or upload an MT5 report. TrueTest finds code faults (wrong server time, functions never
called, unused settings), flags risks (e.g. martingale sizing), rebuilds the rules and tests its own copy on up to 16 years of 7 major forex
pairs and gold with recorded spreads, commission and swaps, with a luck check. Results show bar charts by day, week, month and year at three lot
sizes, and a free forward watch on new prices. In our review of similar tools (November 2026) we did not find another service that
reads the code, rebuilds it, retests it over up to 16 years with costs, runs a luck check and keeps a forward watch, all together. Customer files are used only for testing, never sold or published; code is kept up to 90 days, labs 12 months after the customer's last visit, trade records 30 days. An outside AI service drafts the rule card only if the customer ticks the box (see /security).
