Performance Results

The live signal on ICMarkets SC-Live04 ran for 53 weeks with 100% algo execution. Starting from $1,000, it produced $1,264.10 net profit — a 126% return — while keeping max deposit load at 15.9%. Win rate on live trades sits at 60%, with no withdrawals skewing the equity curve.

The H1 Set C backtest on USDJPY (2013–2021) recorded a profit factor of 1.44 across 4,429 trades from a $960 deposit, reaching $15,786 final balance. Relative drawdown reached 19.45% on H1 and 28% on H4 in fixed-lot testing — materially higher than the live account, which ran autolot sizing.

The autolot USDJPY H1 backtest (2010–2022) at 99.90% modeling quality ran 1,237 trade sequences with a profit factor of 1.52 and maximum drawdown of 23.09%. Starting balance grew from approximately 328,599 to 3,305,798 over 12 years of tick data.

The live account’s 12.2% maximum drawdown occurred during normal USDJPY volatility — not a single catastrophic event. Control it by setting Stop_when_drawdown_over_X_percent to 10–15%, sizing at $100 per 0.01 lot (the default equity rule), and monitoring weekly. Realistic outcomes at these settings range from controlled single-digit drawdown periods to occasional 15–20% retracements in trending USDJPY markets. The autolot mechanism limits runaway exposure during losing streaks.

How It Works

Strategy: Trend-breakout scalper on USDJPY — identifies directional momentum using high/low channel (Length 20) across H1/H4 timeframes.

Entry: Pending orders placed at channel breakout levels, confirmed by price action clearing the 20-period range boundary.

Exit: Take Profit at 170 points; Parabolic SAR (5-min period, 0.02 acceleration, 0.2 max) trails stop dynamically as price extends.

Risk Control: Auto lot sizes at 0.01 per $100 equity; hard Stop Loss at 600 points; Stop_when_drawdown_over_X_percent halts trading at threshold breach.

✅ Best conditions: Trending USDJPY markets • ECN brokers with tight spreads • Stable VPS with low latency to broker server

⚠️ Caution: Ranging/choppy USDJPY sessions • High-spread brokers above 1.5 pips average
