I ran the first proper backtest on my AI-built Forex trading bot —
6 months of real EUR/USD data, 66 trades, and a final number I
genuinely didn’t know how to interpret.

This is Episode 4 of The Imperfect Algorithm — a build-in-public
series documenting every step of building a Forex trading bot from
scratch using Claude Code. No coding experience. No trading
knowledge. Just prompts, results, and whatever Claude builds next.

📊 Backtest results:
→ Trades: 66
→ Win rate: 37.9%
→ Profit: +$108.40
→ Max drawdown: 3.8%
→ Timeframe: EUR/USD M15, 6 months

The strategy peaked at +$500 around trade 50 — then slowly bled
back to $108. That bleed is the story of Episode 5.
