How to Backtest?
- After extracting the configuration archive, you will find a kotr-ai-res.jsonl file. This is the AI output cache file. Copy it to Mql5 FILE_COMMON, which is usually located at:
- Windows: C:\Users\<Username>\AppData\Roaming\MetaQuotes\Terminal\Common\Files
- Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/net.metaquotes.wine.metatrader5/drive_c/users/user/AppData/Roaming/MetaQuotes/Terminal/Common/Files
- Backtest Knights of the Round. Just make sure the Symbol, timeframe, time range, and cache file match.

How to Optimize Parameters?
Same as backtesting: enable optimization, select the Custom max optimization function, then choose the parameters you want to optimize and their ranges.
How to Switch Models?
- Modify the model list and fill in the models you like.
- Select the backtest start/end time and timeframe (H1 recommended), then run Knights of the Round once. This will generate a kotr-ai-req.jsonl file, located in FILE_COMMON mentioned above.
- Note: If a kotr-ai-res.jsonl file already exists, Knights of the Round will automatically enter the actual backtest instead of generating the kotr-ai-req.jsonl file. If you want to continue generating kotr-ai-req.jsonl, delete the kotr-ai-res.jsonl file first.
- No trades will occur while generating the kotr-ai-req.jsonl file, so if you see a straight equity curve, don’t worry—this is normal.
- Attach Knights of the Round Helper to any chart, enter the OpenRouter API Key, and keep it running until the Experts tab outputs Done. At this point, you will get a kotr-ai-res.jsonl file, which is the AI output cache file.
- You can close the chart at any time to stop Knights of the Round Helper. When you start it again, it will resume from where it left off.
- Next, you can start optimizing parameters and backtesting. If the results are especially good, feel free to share them in the Knights of the Round comments section.
