How to use the BST system — from backtesting your settings to your first live trade.
This guide covers the QR Pro workflow. On QR Starter? See the QR Starter guides instead.
The system is built around a simple three-step workflow. Follow it in order and you'll always be trading settings that have actually been validated.
Test your settings on historical data. Find what works before risking real money.
Monitor multiple markets with your validated settings. Never miss a setup.
Execute with confidence. Your settings are tested and your setup is confirmed.
Most traders skip straight to trading. They add an indicator, start taking signals, and wonder why results are inconsistent. BST fixes that — you do the work upfront so every trade is backed by actual data.
Always start here. Before trading live, run the Backtester on your chosen instrument and timeframe to find settings that perform well historically.
Aim for at least 50–100 trades in your sample. The Optimization Hints table inside the Backtester will flag specific issues based on your actual results and tell you what to adjust. The Walk-Forward Analysis table will confirm whether your settings hold up on unseen data.
Full backtester documentation including Walk-Forward Analysis and Optimization Hints is in the Backtester Guide →
You've backtested your settings. Now apply them to the main indicator and start trading.
If you backtested with TP RSI confirmation enabled and ATR stops at Normal distance, use those same settings in QR Pro. Any mismatch means you're trading settings you haven't actually tested.
Full indicator documentation is in the QR Pro Tutorial →
Once you're comfortable with the core Backtest → Trade workflow, the Scanner lets you expand to multiple markets without manually monitoring each chart.
Add your instruments — BTC, S&P 500, Gold, forex pairs, whatever you trade — to the Scanner with the same settings you've validated. One dashboard shows you the current state across all of them: trend direction, confidence score, active positions, and entry/SL/TP levels.
When a setup triggers on any instrument, you get a single alert. Open that chart with QR Pro and execute.
The BST workflow is Backtest → Scan → Trade, but you don't need to use all three tools from day one. Get comfortable with the Backtester and QR Pro first, then add the Scanner when you're ready to monitor multiple markets simultaneously.

This is the most important thing to understand about the BST system.
Your Backtester settings, Scanner settings, and QR Pro settings must match exactly. Same signal sensitivity. Same stop method. Same filters. Same logic.
If you backtest with TP RSI confirmation enabled but trade with it disabled, you're not trading what you tested. The whole point of backtesting is to validate a specific configuration — that configuration only has value if you apply it consistently.
Write down your validated configuration somewhere easy to reference. When you add the Scanner or switch to a new chart, check your note and apply the same settings. It takes 30 seconds and eliminates the most common source of inconsistency.
