I am Bastian Parada, algorithmic trader and StrategyQuant X mentor. I build MQL5 tools, validated strategies, and mentor traders at Angel Talavera and Funded Traders. Trading on the Vantage broker.
Drop your Builder mining task and get the Evolution project for your asset class: 11 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.
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.
The same 8 strategies I run in my account with Darwinex allocation — validated with walk-forward, out-of-sample, Monte Carlo and SPP. No longer sold individually: they are included in my managed portfolio and remain here as proof the tools work.
Backtest metrics 2019–2026 with full sample, real costs and walk-forward, out-of-sample, Monte Carlo and SPP validation. Net profit depends on lot size; past results do not guarantee future returns. Each purchase includes 1 license per MT5 account (regenerable if you change accounts).
Independent trader specialized in StrategyQuant X, with Copy Trading and PAMM accounts. Since December 2024 I have been an instructor and mentor at two schools, teaching how to build robust systematic strategies: from backtesting to walk-forward, correlation analysis, and the live account. Creator of the BPFX tools for StrategyQuant X and MT5, on the Vantage Markets team, and currently pursuing a Bachelor's degree in Finance.

Building strategies for funded accounts, risk management and drawdown control. Live SQX and Quant Analyzer sessions.
Development and optimization of systematic portfolios. Management of Copy and PAMM accounts, with reports and direct support for investors.

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 5-stage 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 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.
Want a tool, a strategy, or StrategyQuant X mentoring? Leave me your email and I will reply personally.
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.
The license is tied to your MT5 account number. After purchase you send it to me and I generate the key for that account.
Not anymore. The 8 strategies you see are the live portfolio I trade and stay here as proof of 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 Angel Talavera and Funded Traders schools, and I offer direct support. Message me through the form or on Instagram.
