I’m trying to figure out how useful a Pocket Option demo account actually is for testing a simple robot. I put together an algorithm based on the crossover of two moving averages, and for now I’m running it only in demo mode so I don’t confuse configuration errors with emotions. Everything looks promising on historical data, but in real time the signals are no longer as precise, especially when the market starts becoming choppy.

I also noticed something strange: sometimes the robot opens a trade with a slight delay, so the result differs from the calculation in the spreadsheet. Maybe I’m not accounting for the candle timing correctly, or is the entry principle itself too primitive? I want to figure it out on demo first, without rushing. How do you test such algorithms in Pocket Option, and how long do you let them run before drawing conclusions? Marker 33d5b4de21
