A good backtest is not the verdict.
Operator is designed to keep testing after a strategy looks good. This example shows why that matters.

REJECT
One strong window is not enough.
Costs and different market periods can change the answer before capital is at risk.
How we decide
Evidence first. Marketing second.
Use the source
Current provider terms, pricing and platform documentation beat promotional copy.
Keep the context
Broker fit depends on the account, server and strategy. Prop rules depend on the exact program.
Separate the money
Affiliate relationships are attached after the research. They do not decide the ranking.
