I am Bastian Parada, algorithmic trader and StrategyQuant X mentor. I build MQL5 tools, validated strategies, and mentor traders privately and at Funded Traders. Trading on the Vantage broker.
Examples of strategies that passed the full chain: 1-minute data, real spread, Monte Carlo, Walk-Forward, parameter permutation and a holdout the search never saw. Backtest 2019–2026 with real costs. They are examples of the process, not a promise of results.
See the example strategies ►Drop your Builder mining task and get the Evolution project for your asset class: 14 tasks, synced cross-checks and filters, dates always current. Everything runs in your browser: your files never leave your computer. Interface currently in Spanish (English version on the roadmap) — setup guides are included in English and it works great with your browser's built-in translator.
Upload 5, 10 or up to 20 Analyzer cards: it tells you what not to mine (cost above 15 % of ATR), what to mine first, in which direction (longs only, shorts only or both) and which portfolios don’t repeat the same risk.
It doesn’t just rank: it tells you what to do TODAY with each strategy — run, watch, cut size or retire — with the concrete reason and your exit limit in money.
Measures what % of your databank shares the same entry signal. A population can pass every robustness test and still be one idea repeated hundreds of times.
Detects the Builder task, reads symbol, spread and costs by itself, and grafts it into the Evolution chain of its class. One import in SQX.
Drop a folder of CSVs: per-class score from best to worst, combined equity with drawdown, and a matrix that exposes duplicate strategies.
Sequential Optimization, the clean condition filter and dates with OOS always on the latest data — in the search and in the retests.
Each tool in the order you use it. Short, with the process on screen: good to get started and to revisit a single step. Narrated in Spanish.

Funded Traders (Tiziano Baquini) trains its traders with the BPFX methodology end to end: the same calibration, the same StrategyQuant X mining and the same retest chain I use on my own accounts. Bastian teaches the algorithmic trading module, and students don't just study it from afar: they build their own lab from week one.
It is the broker I use for my Copy and PAMM accounts. Open your account with my link, or if you are interested in an IB (Introducing Broker) partnership, message me and let us talk.
The console has a prop firm mode: enter your firm’s rules and it tells you what risk per trade to run your portfolio at, your probability of passing and in how many days. On your real history, resampling whole days.
Prop firm rules change: always confirm yours in your own contract before paying for a challenge. Educational content, not financial advice.
The three things people ask me about every week. These are partner links: they cost you nothing extra and help me keep building the tools.
Partner/affiliate links. Nothing in this section is investment advice; trading CFDs involves risk of loss.

StrategyQuant X (Build 143, 144 and 145) and MetaTrader 5. They are MT5 indicators that calibrate and generate projects for SQX; they work on top of your installation, they do not replace it.
The tools write projects and settings in SQX's native format, so they work on any build — and when a new version ships, I update the rules at no cost. The full retest chain requires the Professional or Ultimate edition (Custom Projects and advanced robustness tests are not in Starter). The BPFX Console and the plugin work with any edition.
Licenses are tied to your MT5 account number. If you buy on Gumroad, instantly: go to bastianparadafx.com/licencia, paste your Gumroad key and your MT5 account, and you get the keys right away. If you buy privately, send me your MT5 account and you receive the package, the licenses and the console access the same day.
Not anymore. The 8 strategies you see are examples built with the method, kept here to show what the tools produce. What I sell today are the tools and the Console: with them you build your own strategies using the same methodology.
Yes. I am a StrategyQuant X mentor at the Funded Traders school and offer private one-to-one support. Message me through the form or on Instagram.
