Question 1

What report formats does QuantTester support?

Accepted Answer

QuantTester supports standard HTML/HTM reports exported directly from MetaTrader 4 and MetaTrader 5, including Strategy Tester backtest reports and live/demo Account Statements. All international character encodings (UTF-8, UTF-16LE, UTF-16BE) are auto-detected.

Question 2

Is my trading account and statement data secure?

Accepted Answer

100% secure. QuantTester runs on a client-first Web Worker architecture. Complete trade parsing and balance curve reconstruction execute entirely inside your local browser sandbox without uploading raw files to any server. Account names and numbers are automatically masked with asterisks.

Question 3

Why does QuantTester's Max Drawdown differ from MT4 report headers?

Accepted Answer

Many MT4 report headers only state Initial Balance Drawdown or report 0%, severely obscuring peak-to-trough historical drawdowns. QuantTester reconstructs the equity curve from 100% of closed trades to calculate the true historical peak-to-trough drawdown, preventing visual suppression.

Question 4

What is the Darwinex 5% outlier stress test?

Accepted Answer

Benchmarked against top asset-management platform Darwinex (D-Score), QuantTester simulates the removal of the top 5% extreme winning trades. If the system maintains a positive Profit Factor (PF >= 1.0), it proves the edge is driven by consistent trading logic rather than lucky outliers.
