Forex Overview

Impulse IQ works, and you can prove it yourself.

Tip
For quick verification of Impulse IQ’s performance, just take a look at the top-right table showing the profit factor.

All FX backtests will account for a realistic spread of the underlying pair. Additionally, a slippage of 2 ticks will be used for all FX backtests. All of this is done to best replicate realistic trading conditions!

Additionally, all FX backtest will use a starting balance of $1,000 USD and purchase 1 lot per order - no compounding!

Note
You have complete control over verifying the accuracy of Impulse IQ. You can change the commission value to the real commissions you pay, increase slippage, and more.

Tip
When looking at backtest data, the dollar-amount profit and dollar-amount drawdown are less important than other metrics, as the raw-dollar amount profit and raw-dollar amount drawdown are highly specific to the trader’s balance. Instead, it’s more important to evaluate percentage metrics and ratio metrics, such as the profit percentage, profit factor, and drawdown percentage - these metrics are relatively consistent across various balances. Additionally, risk-performance metrics such as the Sharpe Ratio are good indications of a strategy’s viability.

Note
All of our backtests will show a green line. The green line is the performance of Impulse IQ. Some of our backtests will include a blue line. The blue line is the buy-and-hold performance of the asset. What’s important here is that the green equity curve (Impulse IQ) outperforms the blue equity curve (asset). If it does, this means Impulse IQ is more profitable than simply buying the asset and holding it!
