Performance Results

EUR/USD Backtest — 1971 to 2024

The EUR/USD backtest shows a total net profit of $52,559,114 from a $1,000 starting deposit over 53 years of H1 data. The profit factor reached 23.70 with a win rate of 89.72% across 1,683 trades. Equity drawdown maximal was 5.14%, and the Sharpe ratio reached 4.21.

LR correlation of 0.96 confirms near-linear equity growth throughout the test period. Maximum consecutive losses were limited to 5 trades with a combined loss of $173,050 — manageable relative to the account size at that stage.

USD/JPY Backtest — 1971 to 2024

The USD/JPY backtest records a net profit of $38,892,908 from the same $1,000 starting deposit. Profit factor came in at 21.02, win rate at 87.67%, and the Sharpe ratio at 3.45. Equity drawdown maximal reached 11.68%, with a relative drawdown high of 16.10%.

The recovery factor of 82.40 and Z-score of -6.25 (99.74% confidence) indicate the win-loss sequence is non-random — trades cluster into runs of up to 59 consecutive wins.

The most important risk flag here is the 46% modeling quality on both instruments — well below the 99% tick standard. This means historical spread and slippage are not accurately modelled, so real-world execution costs will reduce reported gains. Control this risk by running the EA on a demo account for 90+ days, using a minimum $1,000 capital allocation, and capping risk per trade to 1–2% until live performance matches the backtest profile. Realistic live results may diverge significantly from backtested figures, particularly during high-spread sessions.

Backtest data 1971–2024 at 46% modeling quality. Live performance will differ due to unmodelled spread and slippage. Demo validation mandatory 90+ days before deploying real capital.
