A MetaTrader-specific metric indicating the fidelity of the price data simulation in a backtest, expressed as a percentage. Modeling quality represents the quality of ticks modeled during testing. A 90% modeling quality (commonly seen with default MT4 data) means the backtest used interpolated 1-minute data, which is moderately accurate. A 99% modeling quality means high-quality tick-by-tick data was used, yielding more precise results. Higher modeling quality percentages inspire more confidence that the backtest reflects real market behavior, whereas low modeling quality suggests the results may be less reliable due to data gaps or interpolation.
