Performance Results

The primary signal ran on a real money xChief account (1:1000 leverage, USD) tracked publicly on Myfxbook. Over the active period from May 22 to November 9, 2023, the account recorded a +26.14% gain with $2,745.14 total profit. Total deposits reached $12,595.10 against $15,340.00 in withdrawals — meaning the operator withdrew more than they deposited, which explains the near-zero closing balance of $0.24. The account was not stopped out; profits were extracted progressively.

Two backtests on AUDCAD H1 (Aug 2023–Apr 2024) using the V1.0_fix build show supporting data across two capital levels. The $1,000 deposit run produced 613.34 net profit with a 25.00% maximal drawdown. The $2,000 deposit run showed 302.18 net profit with a 7.05% maximal drawdown — demonstrating that higher capital directly reduces relative drawdown exposure. Both runs used the Control Points model, which the MT4 tester itself flags as a crude method.

The 54.77% maximum drawdown on the live account is the critical number here — and it demands honest explanation. Grid averaging without a hard stop-loss (StopLoss = 0.0 in default settings) means a sustained directional trend against open positions can stack losses across up to 15 simultaneous trades. Control this by: setting capital above $2,000 so relative drawdown exposure stays under 25%, monitoring the MaxTrades parameter actively and reducing it to 8–10 in volatile conditions, and pausing the EA manually during high-impact AUD or CAD news events. At $2,000 capital and MaxTrades 10, the backtest data suggests drawdown stays closer to 7–15% under normal ranging conditions. At $1,000, expect drawdown spikes toward 25%+ in adverse sequences. Run a 90-day demo before risking live capital.

Live signal tracked May–Nov 2023 on xChief real account — over 18 months ago. Backtests use Control Points (crude model). Market conditions evolve. Demo validation mandatory 90+ days before live deployment. Past performance does not guarantee future results.

How It Works

Strategy: Pip-step grid averaging on AUDCAD H1 — opens initial position, adds positions at fixed 35-pip intervals as price moves against entry, exits on aggregate take profit.

Entry: Initial trade triggered on price action; subsequent positions added every 35 pips adverse movement up to MaxTrades limit.

Exit: Aggregate TakeProfit of 40 pips on the basket; optional trailing stop (TrailStart 10 / TrailStop 10) when enabled.

Risk Control: MaxTrades capped at 15; LotExponent 1.5 scales position size; StopLoss defaults to 0 — equity management is the primary safety layer.

✅ Best conditions: Ranging AUDCAD market • Stable spreads below 2 pips • Low-volatility sessions away from news

⚠️ Caution: Sustained AUDCAD trends without reversal • High-impact AUD/CAD news events • Spreads widening beyond 3 pips

Who Should Use This EA

✅ Ideal for:

• Experienced traders who understand grid averaging and accept drawdowns above 20% as part of the strategy mechanics
• Traders with $2,000+ capital who can absorb multi-position adverse runs without triggering a margin call
• Operators running a dedicated VPS with 24/5 uptime who actively monitor open basket exposure
• Traders comfortable pausing the EA manually around high-impact AUD and CAD economic releases

✅ Best results when:

• AUDCAD is ranging without sustained directional trend — the averaging logic depends on eventual mean reversion
• MaxTrades is set conservatively at 8–10 until you have 60+ days of live or demo data on your specific broker
