The MT5 Strategy Tester gives you a lot of numbers: profit factor, drawdown, win rate, consecutive losses. What it doesn't tell you is which part of the EA to change. A profit factor of 0.58 says the EA is losing. It doesn't say whether the entries are wrong or the exits are. So I made a small free tool that reads the Strategy Tester's HTML report and answers that question. It runs in the browser, needs no account, and the report never leaves your machine. https://app.hawk-backtester.com/en/tool

TL;DR: For a startup login flow, begin with a hosted SMS OTP API. It removes code generation, expiry, replay defense, and verification storage from the application.

Treat recipient suppression as a durable compliance decision, not as a flag buried inside an SMS provider. For every scheduled fintech alert, resolve the recipient against an internal, append-only suppression ledger immediately before dispatch; record the policy version and evidence used; then accept delivery events asynchronously and idempotently. This preserves an explanation for why a message was sent or withheld even after a provider, phone number, or retention policy changes. Short answer:

Gold is one of the few things most people buy priced by purity. Walk into a jewellery shop in Riyadh or Dubai and the board behind the counter lists prices for 24K, 22K, 21K and 18K gold — each updated daily, often shown in both English and Arabic. But where do those numbers actually come from? Here is how daily gold karat prices are tracked and calculated. Every calculation begins with the international spot price of pure gold — the 24K benchmark quoted in US dollars per troy ounce. It is deriv

Here is what one real day of data taught me: 334 filings, 1,220 transactions, 151 companies. EDGAR has a real-time Atom feed of new filings. It
