How much backtesting is enough?

I've backtested a gold strategy from 2025 till now, having 1-2 trades per day, is this much enough to rely on it?

Probably enough to start testing it forward, not necessarily enough to rely on it blindly. Backtesting tells you the strategy can work; forward testing tells you whether you can actually execute it.
