# Security & Quality Validation Summary
|
|
|
|
## Security Analysis
|
|
|
|
### ✅ Input Validation
|
|
- **Risk Percentage**: Limited to 0-10% range
|
|
- **Stop Loss/Take Profit**: Must be greater than 0
|

- **Moving Average Periods**: Fast MA must be less than Slow MA
|
|
- All inputs are validated in OnInit() before trading begins
|
|
|
|
### ✅ Memory Safety
|
|
- **Array Management**: All arrays properly set as series using ArraySetAsSeries()
|
|
- **Buffer Copying**: CopyBuffer() calls check return values (< 3 = error)
|
|
- **Indicator Handles**: Validated for INVALID_HANDLE before use
|
|
- **Proper Cleanup**: Handles released in OnDeinit()
|
|
|
|
### ✅ Error Handling
|
|
- **Order Execution**: Checks OrderSend() return value and result codes
|
|

## Testing Recommendations
|
|
|
|
### Before Live Trading
|
|
1. **Compile Check**: Verify compilation in MetaEditor (F7)
|
|
2. **Strategy Tester**: Run on at least 1 year of historical data
|
|
3. **Demo Account**: Test on demo account for at least 1 month
|
|
4. **Parameter Optimization**: Use genetic algorithm to find optimal settings
|
|
5. **Forward Testing**: Reserve 20-30% of data for forward test
|
|
|
|
### Risk Management Testing
|
|
1. Test with minimum lot sizes first
|
|
2. Verify stop loss and take profit placement
|
|
3. Confirm position sizing calculations
|
|
4. Check behavior during high spread conditions
|
|
5. Validate trading hours filter (if enabled)
|
