Every catalog audit runs the same documented protocol — the protocol is part of the product. Deviations are printed in the audit.
| EA | free Market demo, current version (version recorded) |
|---|---|
| Inputs | vendor defaults, untouched |
| Symbol | the vendor's advertised main symbol |
| Chart timeframe | vendor recommendation; otherwise M1 (recorded) |
| Window | 2020-01-01 → test date, identical for all — comparability across the catalog |
| Model | Every tick based on real ticks |
| Execution delay | 10 ms |
| Deposit / leverage | 10,000 USD / 1:100 |
The audit engine then reconstructs every trade from the deal list, validates the pairing against the tester log (or the report's own holding-time figures), verifies the balance to the cent, and runs the detectors and prop-firm simulations. Same inputs → same audit, bit for bit.
