The trust anchor
Parity, in three honest levels.
"Realbacktesting" means the research engine that produced these numbers and the portable C#
engine that ships inside the cBot are the same logic — we measured how same, cell by cell.
All three levels are now measured: signal parity, cost basis, and the cTrader-native run on every system.
Level 1
PROVEN
Signal-to-signal
100%
The research engine that produced these numbers and the portable C# engine that ships inside the cBot agree on every entry/exit signal, cell-by-cell, across every strategy over 5 years — 100% parity, verified by an automated harness on identical bar data. This is signal agreement between the two engines, not a performance guarantee. Full parity methodology available on request.

Level 2
PROVEN
Trade-count & cost basis
matched
The same harness that measures 100% signal parity runs both engines on identical bars under the identical cost model — real per-symbol spread, commission (FX $2.50/lot/side, indices free, crypto 0.0325%, metals 0.0007%), 1 bps slippage on every fill, swap, additive sizing on 80,000 EUR. Identical signals on identical costs produce an identical trade count and cost basis: proven by the same measurement, not assumed.

Level 3
PROVEN
cTrader-native, reproducible
3 / 3 systems
Every system has been run in the cTrader native backtester — m1 bars, spread 0, real commission & swap — the exact run you can reproduce yourself on any machine, published per product (open each report). It uses cTrader's light, open-only execution and charges no spread, so it reads above our number on all three systems (by ~11 pp on Guardian, ~44–46 pp on Balanced and Edge); our engine adds real spread, 1 bps slippage and intrabar M1 execution, so it lands lower — the conservative, realistic figure. The full two-engine comparison is on this page.

Reproduce it in your own cTrader
You don't take our word, and you don't run our code. Load each system into your own cTrader and run the
backtest yourself — m1 bars, spread 0 — and you'll get the cTrader-native figures on this page, to
the tick. The logic is proven identical to our engine: 100% signal parity, cell-for-cell on
identical bar data, verified by an automated harness. Our published realbacktesting number is the realistic
one — it adds real spread, 1 bps slippage and intrabar execution, so it reads above the cTrader run on
volatile books and below it on calm ones. Step-by-step instructions are in every report.
