General Questions

What is NXVest?

NXVest is a platform that displays backtest results from AI trading models. We use Reinforcement Learning to develop trading models that learn from historical market data.

All reports displayed are backtest results using historical data from broker Exness.

Is this trading signals?

No. This website displays historical backtest results, not real-time trading signals.

Backtest shows how a strategy would have performed in the past - not a guarantee of future results.

Where does the data come from?

All backtests use historical tick data from Exness. This ensures high accuracy because:

Real spreads according to market conditions
Slippage simulation
Commission included

Understanding Reports

Why can low Win Rate still be profitable?

Win Rate only measures the percentage of profitable trades, not how much profit.

A strategy with 40% win rate can be very profitable if the average profit per winning trade is much larger than the average loss.

Learn more in the Win Rate article.

Why is Max Drawdown important?

Max Drawdown shows the largest decline from peak to trough in the equity curve.

It's important because:

Shows the worst "hole" ever experienced
Helps determine if you're mentally & financially ready
A 50% drawdown requires 100% return to recover!

What is Monte Carlo Simulation for?

Monte Carlo simulates thousands of different trade sequences.

Backtest only shows 1 sequence (historical). But in the future, trade order can differ. Monte Carlo helps see worst-case scenarios.

Learn more in the Monte Carlo article.

How many trades are considered enough?

For statistical significance, minimum required:

< 30 trades - Not reliable
30-100 trades - Starting to be meaningful
100-500 trades - Good sample
> 500 trades - Excellent

NXVest reports have minimum hundreds of trades per period.

How to use the Custom Equity Calculator?

Custom Equity Calculator helps you see projected profit and drawdown with your own capital.

Go to a report page
Scroll to "Custom Equity Calculator" section
Enter your capital
Select risk mode (same risk, 2x, etc)
Click Calculate

What's the difference between "Same Risk" vs "Proportion"?

Same Risk (1x): Lot size stays the same as backtest. Profit/loss $ same, percentage changes.

Risk Proportion: Lot size adjusts to capital. If capital 2x, lot 2x, profit/loss $ also 2x.

Average Trade

Average profit/loss per trade. Calculated by dividing total profit by number of trades.

Backtest

Trading simulation using historical data to test a strategy. Shows how a strategy would have performed in the past.

Drawdown

Equity decline from peak to trough. Max Drawdown is the largest decline ever recorded.

Equity Curve

A graph showing balance changes over time. Rising = profit, falling = loss.

Expectancy

Expected value per trade. Formula: (Win Rate × Avg Win) - (Loss Rate × Avg Loss). Positive = profitable.

Lot Size

Position size in trading. 1 Standard Lot = 100,000 units. 0.1 = Mini Lot, 0.01 = Micro Lot.

Monte Carlo Simulation

A simulation that randomizes trade order to see various scenarios, especially worst-case.

Profit Factor

Ratio of total gross profit to total gross loss. >1 = profitable, >1.5 = good, >2 = excellent.

Pip

Percentage in Point. Smallest price movement unit. For EUR/USD, 1 pip = 0.0001.

Risk-Reward Ratio (RRR)

Comparison of potential profit vs potential loss. RRR 1:2 means profit target is 2x larger than stop loss.

Sharpe Ratio

Measures return per unit of risk. >1 = good, >2 = excellent. Higher is more efficient.

Win Rate

Percentage of profitable trades from total trades. 50% win rate = half profit, half loss.
