Rule 1: Lock the rules before testing
Every rule is written in full as a parameter list (sessions, setup conditions, entry, stop, target, max trades, bias) with a version number and a date before any data is run. Nothing changes once testing starts. Any change is a new version, and that version starts again at rule 1.
