Performance Results

Backtest 1 — 6-Year XAUUSD M15 (2020–2025)

The 6-year backtest demonstrates a $1,000 account reaching $61,000 across 2020–2025 with a 1.60 profit factor and recovery factor of 3.42. Maximal drawdown recorded was 31.98% ($17,931). The 1:3 risk-reward configuration used in this run differs from the default 1:2 preset — compare settings before replicating.

Backtest 2 — 2-Year XAUUSD M15

A separate 2-year run confirms a 1.95 profit factor and $12,600 net profit from a $1,000 start. Relative drawdown measured at 29.5%. This run used the default 1:2 risk-reward ratio and 0.05 fixed lot.

Live Signal — 2-Week Early Data

A live signal (ICMarkets SC-MT5-2, 1:500 leverage) shows 191% growth from a $200 deposit over 2 weeks. Win rate stands at 91.7% with 9.9% maximum drawdown across 66% algo-traded activity. Two weeks of data carries no statistical weight — treat this as an installation confirmation, not a performance guarantee.

The primary risk is the ~30% relative drawdown visible in both backtests, driven by consecutive losing sequences on sharp XAUUSD reversals against open trend-filtered positions. Control exposure by: keeping lot size at 0.05 or below on accounts under $1,500, setting Max Open Trades to 3–4 rather than the default 6, and monitoring equity during high-impact gold news events. Realistic outcome on default settings ranges from modest equity growth to temporary drawdown periods touching 25–30% before recovery. Modeling quality figures were not fully documented in either backtest report — run a minimum 90-day demo before committing real capital.

Backtest results differ from live trading due to slippage and spread variation. Modeling quality not fully documented — treat both backtests as indicative only. Demo validation mandatory 90+ days before live deployment.

How It Works

Strategy: Gann pattern recognition on XAUUSD M15 — identifies bullish and bearish chart formations with trend-filter confirmation before signaling.

Entry: Arrow signal fires when pattern forms within 80 pips of current price — trend filter must align with signal direction.

Exit: Fixed TP at 60 pips (1:2 R:R default) — SL set at 30 pips; manual SL/TP override available via settings toggle.

Risk Control: Fixed 0.05 lot sizing — max 6 simultaneous trades cap total exposure per account.

✅ Best conditions: Trending XAUUSD sessions • London/New York overlap • Stable spread ECN brokers

⚠️ Caution: High-impact gold news events • Low-liquidity Asian sessions with wide spreads
