FXCM Desktop: backtest and optimization records
Make FXCM Trading Station Desktop backtests easier to review by recording strategy inputs, test ranges and separate validation, without claiming FINEX tested a strategy.
Use the advertised Desktop feature
FXCM's platform page describes adding automated strategies, backtesting and sortable optimization fields on Desktop. Do not infer identical controls from merely opening the web or mobile interface.

Check the recorded terms before acting
- Version, symbol and dates
- Separate test and validation
- Historical output is not a forecast
Keep an input snapshot
For a reproducible review, record strategy version, symbol, timeframe, dates and parameter values. A result without these details cannot identify what was actually compared.
Separate selection from validation
Optimization selects among tested parameter combinations. As an analytical practice, reserve a different period for checking the selected settings; historical selection is not evidence of future performance.
Include the execution context
Compare model assumptions with account financing and observed execution conditions. FINEX has not run this software or a live bot; this is a documentation checklist for the advertised feature.
