Performance Results

Primary Live Signal — VTMarkets (Real Account)

The VTMarkets real-account signal recorded a +3,839.78% total gain from an initial $5,000 deposit, growing to a current balance of $43,252 over 243 tracked days. Monthly return averaged 7.87%, with $15,000 in confirmed withdrawals demonstrating real profit extraction — not just paper gains.

Secondary Live Signal — TMGM (Real Account)

An independent TMGM real-account signal recorded +2,292.09% total gain with a 21.52% maximum drawdown from November 2021 to May 2025. Over $20,588 in withdrawals confirm consistent live profitability across a second broker and account.

Secondary Live Signal — happyeanet (Real Account)

A third real-account signal from account owner “happyeanet” recorded +214.73% total gain and 18.05% maximum drawdown between November 2021 and March 2023. This signal is now inactive — treat as historical reference only.

Backtest 1 — Conservative Scenario (90% Modelling Quality)

A 90% modelling quality backtest on a $1,000 starting deposit produced a profit factor of 3.35, a 95.34% win rate across 1,631 trades, and a 5.09% maximum drawdown. Net profit reached $3,028,406 — treat as theoretical upper bound, not a live expectation.

Backtest 2 — Extended Scenario (90% Modelling Quality)

A second 90% quality backtest across 2,416 trades shows a profit factor of 2.81 with an 86.96% win rate and a 37.75% relative drawdown. The larger trade count and higher relative drawdown in this scenario reflect a more aggressive configuration — review this result alongside live signal drawdown figures before setting your own risk parameters.

Forward Test — ICMarkets Signal (2010–2017)

A forward test on ICMarkets running from January 2010 to April 2017 recorded a 22.88% drawdown and a 15.88% monthly gain. This is an archived signal over 7 years old — use it as long-range directional context only.

The 25.95% peak drawdown on the primary VTMarkets signal occurred during aggressive gold volatility spikes that pushed price beyond the 240-pip stop loss. Reduce exposure by setting Risk to 0.5–0.8, maintaining a minimum $3,000 account balance per 0.01 lot, and monitoring open equity daily during high-impact NFP and CPI releases. Under these controls, realistic drawdown ranges from 15–26% depending on account size and lot configuration.

Primary live signals tracked Jun 2021 – May 2025 (VTMarkets) and Nov 2021 – May 2025 (TMGM). Market conditions evolve. Run a 90-day demo to validate under current gold market conditions before live deployment. Past performance does not guarantee future results.

How It Works

Strategy: M30 XAUUSD scalping — captures short-term gold momentum during London and early New York sessions, Monday through Friday.

Entry: Triggers within defined session hours (03:00–19:00 Mon–Thu, 03:00–12:00 Fri) after spread confirmation below 35 points.

Exit: Primary exit via TakeProfit at 1,000 pips or trailing stop at 20 pips — whichever activates first.

Risk Control: Break-even locks at 10 pips profit; stop loss fixed at 240 pips; lot size governed by Risk: 1.0% per trade.

✅ Best conditions: ECN broker with tight gold spreads • Stable VPS with low latency • Account equity above $3,000
