1. Your first backtest
Before testing Lock thirty ex in MetaTrader five, make one run you can inspect and repeat. This is a testing checklist, not a profit forecast.

2. Confirm your edition
Start with the official MetaTrader five edition. Check the delivered version and matching preset. The cTrader product is separate. A marketplace demo is for the Strategy Tester.

3. Match your broker
Choose your broker's exact gold symbol, including its suffix, and the five minute period. Record the full build label. Do not copy settings from an older video.

4. One fixed test first
In Navigator, right click the intended expert advisor and choose Test. Set the symbol, period, dates, deposit and leverage. Start with fixed inputs and a local testing agent.

5. Save what you test
Review each enabled engine and its sizing, exposure and loss controls. Save the effective inputs. A preset filename does not prove which values were loaded.

6. Record data and costs
Record the tick model, spread, commission, swap and execution assumptions. Check the Journal for missing history or warnings. Keep these details with your backtest plan.

7. Keep the complete result
Save the completed report, inputs and Journal. Review losses, drawdown, costs and rejected orders. An interrupted graph is not a completed test. Check a separate period without retuning.
