Walk forward analyser

[[Deleted]]

Hello,

I tried to find free walk forward analyser on the web but I didn't

I found one on easyexpertforex.com but it doesn't work anymore. Then I found the 2 weeks trial on strategyquant but that's all

My question :  

Do you know any good walk forward analyser software for MT4 or MT5?

Thank you

I do not think it is good idea to discuss here some software other than MT4/MT5 for example ....
