Gold Signals Backtesting Template (2025)
Measure the edge you actually have: include costs, stick to TP1/TP2/Runner rules, and review by session. Educational only — not financial advice.

R-Multiple Math (Sheets formulas)
- RiskUSD =
=AccountBalance * RiskPct - FinalOutcome($):
Example if you record outcome in R:
=FinalOutcome(R) * RiskUSD - Win Rate (overall):
=COUNTIF(FinalOutcome(R):FinalOutcome(R), "> 0")/COUNTA(FinalOutcome(R):FinalOutcome(R)) - Avg R:
=AVERAGE(FinalOutcome(R):FinalOutcome(R)) - Expectancy (R):
=AvgWinR * WinRate - ABS(AvgLossR) * (1 - WinRate)
Cost Tracking (spread / commission / slippage)
Gold is cost-sensitive around opens and news. Log costs per trade so your edge isn’t inflated.
- Prefer limit/stop-limit on retests to control slippage.
- Skip the exact print minute; re-engage post-event with structure.
MAE/MFE & Quality Control
- MAE: max adverse excursion → tells if stops are placed well.
- MFE: max favorable excursion → shows if TP2/runner targets are realistic.
- Tag entries (VWAP Reclaim, Break-Retest, Sweep Reversal) to compare performance by model and session.
Dashboards & KPIs
By Session
Win%, Avg R, Expectancy by Asia/London/NY.
By Entry Model
Compare Break-Retest vs VWAP Reject vs Sweep Reversal.
By Cost Regime
Filter trades where SpreadCost + Slippage was above/below median.
Keep a day stop like −2R to protect mental capital while forward-testing.
FAQ
How many rows is “enough” to judge?
100+ trades across multiple weeks/sessions gives variance you can trust.
Do I track partials?
Yes — log TP1/TP2/Runner as separate flags; your FinalOutcome(R) already bakes them in.
What if I change rules midway?
Start a new tab/version to keep stats clean pre/post-change.
