Walk Forward Analyzer for MetaTrader is a professional application designed to perform a "walk forward analysis" on the expert advisor of your choice. This allows you to quickly verify whether a given trading strategy is profitable over the long term.
MetaTrader's Strategy Tester gives only a limited picture of a trading system's profitability. It is necessary to optimize a trading strategy, and test the optimized parameters on out-of-sample data over a long period to accurately determine an expert advisor's profitability.
The Walk Forward Analyzer simplifies the walk forward process, performing a tedious and error-prone manual process in a matter of minutes.
