  • Transforming your Backtest Results into Real Profits with OMS

    OMS works in conjunction with the MT4 and MT5 Strategy Testers. MetaTrader does an excellent job of performing backtests and optimizations — but using this process alone doesn’t usually lead to making money in live markets. That’s where Opt My Strategy (OMS) steps in.

    OMS takes your backtest and optimization results and applies deep, professional-grade analysis, built on proven best-practice statistical methodologies. The result? You don’t just see what could work — you discover what’s most likely to deliver profitable, resilient strategies in real accounts.

    By combining MetaTrader’s mechanical capabilities with OMS’s intelligent insights, you unlock a toolkit that’s greater than the sum of its parts. Imagine having a professional quant’s edge at your fingertips — spotting hidden patterns, filtering out noise, and building Expert Advisors that stand up to the chaos of live trading.

    And because OMS uses fully supported MetaQuotes interfaces, integration is seamless, reliable, and future-proof.

DESIGNED BY TRADERS

BUILT BY TRADERS

FOR TRADERS

Most backtesting products are built to impress novice traders with showcase features focused on maximizing sales, not helping traders succeed. Many software developers don’t even use their own products to develop strategies or trade the markets.

Opt My Strategy (OMS) is different: At Trade Like A Machine, we are traders first. With over 15 years of proven trading experience, we rely on OMS every day to design, optimize, and prepare strategies for live execution.

We know what truly matters in strategy development—and what doesn’t. That’s why OMS avoids gimmicks that encourage over-optimization and inevitable failure. Instead, every feature is grounded in best-practice methodologies, engineered for robustness and long-term performance.

Originally built for our own trading, OMS was created with one purpose: to deliver strategies with stronger reward-to-risk ratios that hold up in live markets. Today, trading institutions and serious retail traders worldwide are choosing OMS to gain that edge.

INTELLIGENT TRADERS ACROSS THE GLOBE ARE CHOOSING OPT MY STRATEGY

HELPING ALGORITHMIC TRADERS SUCCEED

OMS provides best-practice backtesting, specifically designed to address the most
common problems algorithmic traders encounter when optimizing expert advisors.

  • The MT4 & MT5
    Strategy Testers

    The MT4 and MT5 Strategy Testers are excellent at running the mechanical aspect of backtests and optimizations. They simulate trades against historical price data and generate raw performance numbers, representing this data in tabular and graphical formats.

    Unfortunately, raw data alone is not enough to judge whether a strategy will hold up in the real world.

    A professional best-practice approach requires that this output be properly processed and evaluated before decisions about the robustness of the strategy, or parameter value selection can be reliably made.

    And here’s the problem: most traders don’t have the tools, knowledge, or time to perform this process reliably. This means they’re making decisions based on incomplete, misleading, raw data.

  • Why Most
    Traders Fail

    The majority of traders rely on MetaTrader’s raw output as if it were the full story. It isn’t.

    False confidence: “Winning” parameter values appear at the top, often because they just happen to align with one-off market events (like news spikes), not repeatable patterns.

    Blind spots: Traders ignore statistical significance, variance, and the dangers of over-optimization.

    Incomplete analysis: Results are judged on a single MetaTrader performance metric, missing the bigger picture of true performance.

    The outcome? Strategies that look great in backtests, but collapse when exposed to out-of-sample data. Accounts bleed money in live trading, and traders are left wondering what went wrong.

  • The Answer?
    Opt My Strategy

    OMS is the missing piece. It works seamlessly with MT4 and MT5, taking the raw backtest data and transforming it into actionable intelligence.

    Embedded Best-Practice: Built on 15+ years of proven research and refinement, OMS applies rigorous data science best practices automatically.

    Clarity, not noise: Results are re-visualized in powerful dashboards, revealing the true underlying patterns—the ones likely to repeat in the future, instead of results being driven by random noise that will not.

    Confidence you can trust: Every feature and capability is grounded in statistically significant, best-practice principles.

    With OMS, you stop flying blind, gambling with your capital. Instead, you'll start trading with a confidence in your decision-making process.

A new approach to backtesting and optimization software

Remove the noise...

OMS optimizations provide an enhanced level of clarity allowing traders to focus on the patterns that are more likely to repeat in the future rather than being distracted by random fluctuations, for example, noise caused by economic news events - helping parameters to be in tune with the markets whilst promoting robustness.

How is Opt My Strategy different?

Most backtesting tools provide functionality and features that look great in principle, however, our experience is that many of these features promote over-optimization. This results in really great looking backtests, but strategies that fail in your live, real money account.

Scientific, statistically-based approach

We have no interest in great-looking backtests. Everything we build into our software promotes robustness and focuses on delivering production-ready trading systems. Our built-in algorithms provide intelligence to the user to increase the statistical significance and reliability of results.

Backtesting and Optimization Software for MT4 and MT5

Works with MetaTrader MT4 & MT5 using interfaces that are 100% supported and documented by MetaQuotes (Our MT4 version is coming soon). OMS requires some minor code additions to your MQL4/MQL5 source code*.

*If you have purchased a pre-compiled EA and do not have the source code you will not be able to use 'Opt My Strategy'

Backtesting and Optimization Software Features

Opt My Strategy strives to turn the complex world of backtesting, which is prone to many pitfalls, into an effective and intuitive process for traders.

The software incorporates the features needed to complete optimizations using best practice methodologies, helping achieve robust trading systems that perform in live accounts.

Research & Development Dashboards

Backtests and optimizations are automatically saved in dashboards for further analysis, providing full audit trails of your strategy development process alongside your research notes, facilitating effective data-driven R&D.

Multi-Performance Metric Analysis

In standard MetaTrader optimizations, analysis is constrained to a single performance metric. OMS allows analysis on both MetaTrader metrics plus proprietary metrics such as Van Tharp's R, SQN, Enhanced Profit Factor and more, all from a single optimization.

Automated Parameter Selection

OMS uses sophisticated n-dimensional parameter selection to identify the most robust parameter values using data science techniques including statistical significance, variance and multi-performance metric analysis.

Asset and Hour of Day Analysis

Perform sophisticated analysis of asset performance from multi-symbol EAs, alongside time-of-day pattern identification to identify the hours of the day where your strategy works best and which times to avoid.

Best-Practice baked-in

OMS was designed and built by traders, for traders. We know what best-practice looks like from our years of trading experience, and we've embedded many facets of this into OMS from the foundations up.

Education Built-in

OMS is more than just a software product. We've tried to incorporate the same educational concepts that we teach in our training courses into the software, so that users learn and develop as they use it.

Correlation Heatmap Analysis

Automated correlation heatmaps are produced whenever backtesting a multi-symbol Expert Advisor. Identify which assets are too correlated to trade together.

Multi-core Optimizations

MT5's multi-core processing (local, network and MQL5 cloud cores) to speed up optimizations are fully supported by OMS.

Genetic Optimization Support

OMS works seamlessly with the MT5 Genetic Optimization method, allowing analysis of the sparse n-dimensional surface.

Why Trust TRADE LIKE A MACHINE?

Most companies selling trading products and services don’t actually trade themselves. Their business model is built on selling—not trading.

At Trade Like A Machine, we’re different. Systematic, algorithmic trading isn’t just our passion—it’s what we do every single day. Because we’re in the markets ourselves, we understand the real challenges traders face: the highs, the lows, and everything in between. That experience gives us unique insight, enabling us to design products and services that genuinely meet traders’ needs.

Transparency is at the heart of our approach. We publish our full, independently verified trading track record—not just the good days. Every trader has losing months, and we’re no exception. But unlike others, we don’t cherry-pick winning trades for social media while staying silent on the rest. We show our full equity curve which encompasses every trade we make. And yes, the equity curve is net of charges, so what you see is the real story.

Posting selectively about individual trades proves nothing. Only full disclosure builds trust. Our commitment to openness demonstrates that we know our business, and it gives our customers the confidence that we truly know what we’re talking about.
