A good idea to revive the now nearly dead forum, but why limit it to just 5 minutes?
You could set any time frame, but starting from a specific date. That way, perhaps more people would be involved.1 user thanked author for this post.
As for the starting date, perhaps it could be open for at least a month until January 1st of this year. Perhaps someone can demonstrate good performance for a longer period.
As for MarketPlace, I’ve looked at it often, too, but a quick look immediately reveals some who only show backtests, or worse still, only profit figures, or not even that, and claim to be making thousands of euros. Then there are those who show live results; just look if you’re only interested in those.
Standardizing everything this way would be great for those who want to buy, but there would probably be few sellers left.1 user thanked author for this post.
My first remark would have been that 4 weeks could already be too much. Why ? who says that the current System is running that long ? So personally I think 4 weeks is fine (but or I have them running from of June 19, or I stopped others at that same date – so literally I can’t comply already.
Next up would be my practicing with one system out of many for one instrument – this is IG. But I can’t start PRT for IG today … (“Unexpected Error”).
N.b.: Why people would hold back in the necessity to change the TF of the chart to 5 minutes, is a bit beyond me ? it won’t change the trading for the already running system ?
Another issue you see below; real futures would not be able to comply throughout because they expired on June 20. They will comply (to the 4 weeks) again after next week, if only the System was restarted for the new (Sept.) contract. But that is IB (though in IG it could exist for some just the same). Anyway, this IB example fails because the period that particular system ran was shorter than the required 4 weeks (or better : the 10K bars). See the green and red vertical bars. Meanwhile I have running systems always, but that is thus different than one system running always.
I hope this makes sense ?1 user thanked author for this post.
Anyway, I now see that I like your idea. Every Market Place vendor should comply to this. Here’s another one from me (from IB). This one is still running (so-so).

This has been in use with a 5-minute time frame since January 10, 2025……I would say it has also well overcome the collapse that occurred from mid-February to early April.

PRT-IG works again for me, so here is one result. But it again shows a “situation”, because see the green vertical line – this was started on June 19 once again, but now because it was thrown out by the IG quirks. Otherwise it shows nicely what it did the past month.

And another example, again with a slightly different story.
This one runs from of April 1 2025, and was reactivated with quite many others, “feeling” that the market would be right for them again, after being dormant for maybe a year because the market turned against it/them (you can see that net it still makes profit).Now, currently I have 5 more of these (2 with loss, 3 with profit, but it is going to be more of the same so no need to show those I think. Would you have asked before June 2, then I could have shown you each of what you see in the 2nd attachment. If you look hard in the top left, you can see that this is still Real-Live (as you are aware, I don’t use Demo).
Anyway, I stopped all these somewhere in the beginning of June, to give way to some “larger projects”.1 user thanked author for this post.
