Backtest Performance Results

XAUUSD — Primary Signal

The XAUUSD backtest ran from January 2020 to May 2023 — covering COVID volatility, the 2022 Fed rate cycle, and a ranging mid-period. Over 14,751 trades at 2% risk per trade, the strategy recorded a profit factor of 3.40 and a 93.46% win rate. Maximal drawdown reached just 2.61%, meaning the account never fell more than $23,572 from peak during the most adverse stretch.

The asymmetry between average profit ($12,279 per trade) and average loss ($51,556 per trade) confirms this is a high-frequency, small-winner system where the rare losses are significantly larger. That trade-off is managed by the low loss frequency — only 6.54% of trades close negative.

GBPJPY — Secondary Signal

The GBPJPY backtest covers the same 2020–2023 period with identical settings. It recorded a profit factor of 1.86 and a 90.15% win rate across 5,788 trades, with a 7.10% maximal drawdown. Note: the GBPJPY modeling quality figure in the raw data appears as a raw tick count rather than a percentage — treat this result as directionally informative, not precision-validated.

Both pairs show drawdown below 10%, so the primary risk to manage here is the loss trade size imbalance — on XAUUSD, a single losing trade averaged $51,556 against a $12,279 average winner. This ratio is structurally acceptable only when the win rate holds above ~80%. If win rate degrades in live conditions — caused by wider spreads, slippage, or shifting gold volatility regimes — losses will compound faster than the backtest suggests. Control this by setting Risk to 1% (not the default 2%) until 60+ days of demo results confirm the win rate transfers to your broker. Realistic outcome on a $1,000 account at 1% risk: smaller compounding but a loss event that stays proportional and recoverable.

Backtest results cover 2020–2023 at 90% modeling quality on XAUUSD. Live trading adds slippage and variable spreads not captured in simulation. Run a minimum 60-day demo before live deployment to validate win rate under your broker’s conditions.

How Eclipse Trading EA Works

Strategy: M5 scalper on XAUUSD and GBPJPY — exploits short-burst momentum and mean-reversion pockets on fast gold and yen cross moves.

Entry: Triggers on M5 pattern conditions with spread confirmation — filters out entries above SpreadLimit 40.

Exit: Trailing stop at 15 points trails price extension — closes automatically when momentum reverses.

Risk Control: Percentage-based position sizing via Money Management — set Risk % to match account size. Lower Risk % to 1% on new accounts; the default 2% suits accounts with validated performance history.

✅ Best conditions: Tight spreads below 25 points • Active London/New York session • Trending gold price action

⚠️ Caution: High-spread events (news, illiquid hours) • Ranging XAUUSD with no directional momentum
