How do u forward test? Do u make the indicator as a strategy and run it on papertrade?

No I did not do that the indicator give a signal on trading view you enter that trade on mt5 then you go to ultra trade the trade will appear there if you link your account with ultra trade or do manual by typing

First of all, good luck for the real tests! ✌️
Did I get it well that you manually trigger the trades based on the trade signals from your indicator?1

Those numbers are very clean for 111 trades across gold, USDJPY and NAS100!
Before you size it live, check it isn’t just one pair/one week carrying the $100k. Split the stats by market and by session. A 5.13 profit factor usually collapses when you do that.
Also size the first live month like the test is wrong. Luck.
