Performance Results

Two seller-hosted live result sets from September 2025 show the EA active on real XAUUSD positions. The larger set recorded $977.95 profit on a $2,000 deposit across 12 trades over six days (Sep 17–23). The smaller set recorded $590.70 profit from 7 trades on a single day (Sep 30), with 6 winners and one loss of -$100.00. Both are screenshot-based — no public Myfxbook or FX Blue link was found to independently verify account ownership or full equity history.

The primary backtest covers January–August 2025 (8 months) on XAUUSD M5 with a $500 starting deposit. It produced $7,501.72 net profit, a 86.46% win rate across 672 trades, and a 5.07% maximum balance drawdown. Profit factor was 1.79. History quality is recorded at 0% real ticks — this means the engine used interpolated tick data, not actual broker feed. Results at this quality level tend to look cleaner than live trading will be.

A second backtest runs January–November 2025 (11 months) with a $1,000 deposit. Net profit reached $7,988.25, win rate held at 84.49%, and maximum balance drawdown rose to 12.03%. History quality improved to 19% real ticks — better, but still below the 99% threshold that provides genuine live-condition confidence. The higher drawdown at a longer test horizon is the more realistic baseline for planning.

The 12.03% maximum drawdown in the longer backtest came from a sequence of at most 3 consecutive losses totalling -$340.85 — triggered by counter-trend price action against open positions before trailing stops engaged. Control drawdown by starting at 0.01 lot per $500, monitoring spread during London/New York overlap, and enabling the built-in news filter around NFP and FOMC. At these settings, a 3-loss run on $1,000 capital stays within a $340 / 34% single-episode range — painful but recoverable. At 19% tick quality, live drawdown may exceed backtest figures during high-spread gold sessions.

Backtest results from January–November 2025. History quality 19% real ticks on the longer test — live slippage and spread will produce different results. Demo validation mandatory 60+ days before live deployment. Past performance does not guarantee future results.

How It Works

Strategy: SuperTrend crossover (period 10, multiplier 3.0) on XAUUSD M5 — waits for a 70-pip pullback before committing, filtering out weak trend signals and reducing false entries in choppy gold sessions.

Entry: Pending order placed 5 pips beyond the retracement level once SuperTrend direction confirms.

Exit: Primary TP at 250 pips; 50% partial close triggers at 100 pips, locking profit before full target is reached.

Risk Control: Fixed SL at 100 pips; ATR trailing activates at 40 pips profit (multiplier 1.2); step trailing runs 30-pip distance from 20 pips; breakeven shifts stop to +5 pips at 40 pips profit. Fixed lot default 0.1.

✅ Best conditions: Trending gold sessions • London/New York overlap liquidity • Stable spreads below $3

⚠️ Caution: Choppy sideways gold markets • High-spread periods around major news events
