SMOOTH OPERATOR FX - SEVEN-DAY EA EVALUATION WORKSHEET https://smoothoperatorfx.com/ea-test-kit Use a demo account. Seven calendar days is an operational evaluation, not evidence of a durable trading edge. No payment required for the demo; one MT5 account/server activation. The license clock begins at issuance. Before you start Prepare your MT5 demo account, check the exact EUR/USD symbol and read the installation guide. The trial clock starts when issued, including weekends. Use one account/server; do not plan a multi-account trial. Notes: _____________________________________________________ Day 1 · Install and document Save the EA version, inputs, broker server, timezone and terminal build. Confirm license activation, Algo Trading permissions and the correct chart. Keep private license keys and account identifiers out of screenshots. Notes: _____________________________________________________ Day 2 · Observe costs Record spread at actual entry opportunities, commission per round trip and requested versus filled prices. Inspect your broker's symbol specification. A quiet market may produce no trades. Notes: _____________________________________________________ Day 3 · Check risk behavior Read the stop and sizing settings and compare planned risk with observed fills. Check account-wide exposure. Do not increase size to manufacture activity. A stop does not guarantee its execution price. Notes: _____________________________________________________ Day 4 · Check operational controls Inspect logs, news-calendar availability, time settings and notifications. Do not disable protection to force a trade. If there is no relevant event during the trial, mark that behavior not observed. Notes: _____________________________________________________ Day 5 · Examine the losing side Review losing trades and floating drawdown as carefully as winners. Separate balance from equity. Record missing data and rejected orders; do not silently exclude them. Notes: _____________________________________________________ Day 6 · Save a reproducible record Export the report and save unchanged settings. If comparing risk modes on the same permitted demo account, test sequentially and label each period; simultaneous runs can change account-wide exposure. Notes: _____________________________________________________ Day 7 · Decide what you learned Classify installation, execution and controls as observed, failed or not observed. Record trade count and costs. An uneventful or profitable week is not proof of future profitability. Continue only if the software, costs and risks suit your own requirements. Notes: _____________________________________________________ DAILY RECORD (copy for each day) Date / timezone: EA version / risk mode: Broker and symbol (omit account number): Observed trades / rejected orders: Spread / commission / slippage: Planned risk / observed loss / floating drawdown: News or operational control observed: Outcome: observed / failed / not observed What still needs testing: Do not publish passwords, license keys or account identifiers. Historical simulations and demo results are not live results and do not guarantee future performance. Trading can cause substantial loss.
