A morning entry, an evening exit

Counts are exact. Dollar amounts by hour, weekday and month were read from the report’s bar charts, so they carry a ≈ and can be off by a few dollars. Totals match the report.

How to read this backtest

A good backtest is a reason to test further, not a promise. Read these points before you look at the profit again.

  1. 01This is a backtest, not a live account. It ran in the MT5 Strategy Tester on 42 million ticks with 100% history quality. It does not include real-broker effects such as slippage, requotes or missed fills.
  2. 02The sample is short. 8.7 months and 153 trades is enough to see how the robot behaves. It is not enough to know how it behaves in every kind of market.
  3. 03Position size appears to be fixed. Deposit load fell from about 0.25% to under 0.1% as the balance grew, which means profits were not reinvested into bigger lots. That is why the curve climbs in a straight line instead of curving upward.
  4. 04Percentages are measured on $1,000. On a bigger account at the same lot size, the dollars stay the same and the percentages shrink.
FAQ

Questions about this report

Short answers. You can ask other questions on the robot’s MQL5 page before you buy.

Why does the curve rise in a straight line?

The deposit-load bars in the report fall from about 0.25% to under 0.1% as the balance grows, which shows the lot size did not grow with the account. Each trade risks about the same number of dollars, so profits add up in a line instead of compounding.

What does “equity drawdown relative 15.81%” mean for me?

At its worst point, open equity was 15.81% ($227.90) below its previous peak, counting trades that were still open. Balance drawdown counts only closed trades, which is why it is smaller (12.34%).

Why do most trades close at 20:00?

In this test most positions closed in the 20:00 hour (server time), including almost all of the losing ones. Some profitable trades closed earlier, between 08:00 and 19:00. The exact exit rule is in the EA settings.

Is 153 trades enough to trust the result?

It is enough to see the pattern: a steady 64% win rate, winners slightly larger than losers, and short losing streaks (4 at most). It is not a long history. That is why out-of-sample tests and a live account come next, and both will be added to this page.

Where do I buy it?

Only on the MQL5 Market. This site does not accept payments. Every “Buy on MQL5” button opens the robot’s product page on mql5.com, where you buy it.
