Performance Analysis

Data Source: Backtest Results (Not Live Trading)

This EA is newly released. Performance metrics are based on historical backtests, not live trading accounts. Past performance does not guarantee future results. Live verification on MyFxBook will be added once real trading history accumulates.

Risk Disclosure & Limitations

⚠️ Forex trading involves substantial risk of loss. Titan X uses a grid system which can open multiple positions (up to 12 levels per direction). During strong trending markets, this can lead to significant drawdowns. Only trade with capital you can afford to lose.

EA-Specific Risks:

• Grid accumulation: Multiple positions compound exposure rapidly during trends – 12 levels with 1.5x multiplier can reach substantial lot sizes
• Bi-directional mode: Opens both buys and sells simultaneously, doubling margin usage from level 1
• No hard stop-loss per trade: Relies on equity protection (Yoga Mode) at 12% account drawdown, not individual trade stops

When NOT to Use:

• During high-impact news (NFP, FOMC, CPI) unless News Filter enabled
• On accounts below $1,000 with 0.01 starting lot (insufficient margin buffer)
• With brokers having spreads >25 pips or frequent requotes

Historical Worst Case:
No live trading history available yet. Backtest data shows grid systems can experience 20-40% drawdowns during sustained trends. Recovery depends on market returning to range. This can happen again.

How It Works

Strategy Philosophy: Grid approach exploits ranging market reversals by placing orders at fixed 21-pip intervals, using bi-directional entries from the first level to profit from both directions.

Entry Logic: Opens positions when price moves 21 pips from last entry (or initial trigger), validated by candlestick filter on current timeframe via market orders.

Exit Strategy: Closes at 10-pip take profit per position or when Profit Basket reaches $250 cumulative goal across all trades.

Risk Management: Limits to 12 levels per direction, uses 1.5x lot multiplier per level, optional Yoga Mode equity stop at 12% drawdown.

Market Conditions:

• ✅ Best: Ranging markets, low-spread brokers, stable volatility
• ⚠️ Caution: Strong trends, news events, high spreads
