EA X-RAY

Find out what evidence about your trading strategy you should actually believe.

EA X-Ray examines Expert Advisors, automated trading strategies commonly used on platforms such as MetaTrader. It investigates why backtest and live behaviour may differ, which result deserves more trust and whether the apparent edge has actually changed.

Choose Core for fast evidence triage or Deep for a decision-grade forensic diagnosis.

WHY IT MATTERS

The expensive time to discover a weak strategy is after you fund it.

Many owners meet an automated strategy at the end of a sales process. They see a backtest, an equity curve and performance statistics. Then they are asked to trust it with money.

QuantWeaver treats the strategy as a research candidate first and looks for weaknesses while the cost of being wrong is still small.

Backtests vs live results. What am I missing?

THE DIAGNOSIS

Several different problems can produce the same disappointing result.

EA X-Ray is diagnosis, not generic backtesting. It is a first-stage investigation and does not replace full Strategy Validation.

  • 01Weak strategy thesis
  • 02Implementation defect
  • 03Overfitting
  • 04Execution-cost sensitivity
  • 05Broker or data differences
  • 06Regime dependence
  • 07Parameter fragility
  • 08Normal statistical variation

CHOOSE THE DEPTH

Core triages the evidence. Deep investigates why.

EA X-RAY CORE

Fast evidence triage

For a first decision about whether the supplied evidence justifies more time, testing or capital. Core identifies obvious weaknesses, likely problem classes and a clear next-step disposition.

EA X-RAY DEEP

Forensic diagnosis

For meaningful capital decisions, complex strategies, source-level questions or unresolved divergence. Deep examines thesis, implementation, causality, execution, robustness and failure states.

WHO IT IS FOR

EA X-Ray is for you if...

  • 01You bought an EA and are considering funding it.
  • 02You built your own EA and want an independent challenge.
  • 03Your EA looks strong in a backtest but you do not completely trust the result.
  • 04You want to increase the capital behind a strategy and would rather investigate first.
  • 05You have several EAs and need to decide which deserve deeper research.

It is not an approval service.

We do not begin with the assumption that your EA is good. A negative result is still useful if it prevents a larger mistake.
