ICT Backtesting Checklist

The ICT Backtesting Checklist outlines a systematic approach for validating trades across multiple timeframes, starting from higher timeframe context to entry timeframe. It emphasizes the importance of market structure, liquidity, and risk management, with specific criteria for each stage of the trading process. A final rule states that if any single criterion is not met, the trade is deemed invalid for statistical purposes.
