  • What is OMS?...

    OMS operates in conjunction with the MetaTrader Strategy Tester, utilizing interfaces that are fully supported and documented by MetaQuotes.

    By combining the strengths of MetaTrader and OMS, the result is something more valuable than the sum of the parts. You will have access to a professional-grade backtesting and optimization suite, allowing you to rigorously stress-test your strategies and create more profitable, more resilient Expert Advisors.

  • ...and what it's 'not'

    OMS does not play any part in live trading - that remains the role of the MetaTrader platform and the broker(s) you choose to manage your trading account(s).

    OMS does not provide any trading strategies or trading/investment advice - your strategy and your intellectual property remain your own (unlike some platforms, we do not ask you to upload your strategy).

OMS only operates during the development and testing phases of your strategy.

HELPING ALGORITHMIC TRADERS SUCCEED

Our 'Opt My Strategy' software (or OMS for short) provides best-practice backtesting, specifically designed to address the most common problems algorithmic traders face when optimizing expert advisors.

  • The MT4/MT5
    Strategy Tester

    When used alongside best-practice backtesting processes, the built-in MT4 and MT5 Strategy Testers can both be effective optimization tools.

    However, few traders understand what best-practice back testing encompasses and many never manage to produce profitable systems that deliver the results they expect in their real-money accounts.

  • Why do most
    traders fail?

    This is due to a number of reasons: the most important being over-optimization of trading systems.

    The majority of traders do not know how to measure the statistical significance of their backtesting and have no idea if they have over-optimized their system. We consider this the #1 reason why most traders fail.

  • The answer?
    Opt My Strategy

    OMS has been designed from first principles to backtest and optimize trading systems using best-practice.

    First and foremost all testing is undertaken using scientific principles and techniques to produce statistically significant results, leading to more robust trading systems.

About Opt my Strategy

A new approach to backtesting and optimization software

Remove the noise...

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

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 back tests, but systems 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 focusses 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 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

Every backtest and optimization is stored in a dashboard for further analysis, providing a full audit trail of your process and research notes, facilitating more effective data-driven research.

Multi-Performance Metric Analysis

When using standard MetaTrader optimizations, analysis is constrained to single performance metric. OMS allows analysis on both MT5 metrics plus prorietary metrics such as Van Tharp's R & SQN, Enhanced Profit Factor and more, all from a single opt'n.

Automated Parameter Selection

OMS uses sophisticated n-dimensional parameter selection to identify the most robust parameter values using mathematical 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.

DESIGNED BY TRADERS

BUILT BY TRADERS

FOR TRADERS

Most commercial backtesting products are built to impress novice traders with features focussed on maximizing sales, not trading success. 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 successful trading experience, we rely on OMS every day to design, optimize, and prepare strategies for live trading.

We know what matters in strategy development—and what doesn’t. That’s why OMS avoids gimmicks that lead to over-optimization and failure. Instead, every feature is grounded in proven best-practice methodologies, built for robustness and long-term success.

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