What is stress testing in forex and how is it applied?

Stress testing simulates extreme market conditions—flash crashes, massive gaps, or liquidity freezes—to measure a strategy’s resilience. Institutions integrate stress testing into portfolio risk frameworks. Retail traders can stress test by backtesting strategies during volatile periods like the 2008 crisis or 2020 COVID crash. Benefits: reveals vulnerabilities in risk models. Risks: ignoring stress results or overfitting to rare events. Stress testing teaches that survival depends not just on average conditions but on enduring the worst days in markets.
