Profitable on 4 of 4 markets with reliable results.

Converted from MQL5 to Python and run with the same rules for every EA. Positions use MT5 lot sizes (100,000 units per FX lot, 100 oz per gold lot) with 1:100 leverage, one order at a time, and a stop-out below 10% of the starting balance. Sharpe is computed from the equity curve. Results marked as unreliable are shown for completeness only.

From the backtest equity curve, sampled about every two days; only reliable results.

Blow-up risk: No blow-up pattern found

None of the usual blow-up patterns were found in the code, and the account was not stopped out in our backtests. That is not a guarantee: any EA can lose money.

High: stopped out in our backtest, or martingale/grid sizing without a stop loss. Elevated: martingale or grid sizing with a stop loss, or several positions at once without a stop loss. What the label means and what we found →

Strategy analysis

The source code could not be read due to a binary format error, making it impossible to accurately analyze the EA's strategy concept, entry conditions, exit conditions, position sizing, or money management. The filename Frank Ud suggests it may be a custom strategy EA created by a developer named Frank. Based on the MQL5 CodeBase download directory context, this is likely a community-shared trading system. Without source code access, the technical indicators, trading logic, and risk management mechanisms cannot be determined. It is recommended that the user provide the source code text for a detailed analysis. Currently it can only be classified as unclassified strategy, and its specific trading behavior cannot be evaluated. All analysis fields are based on inference rather than actual code inspection.

Strengths

  • Potentially a community-verified shared strategy EA
  • As a CodeBase download resource, it may have undergone initial screening
  • Custom naming suggests the developer had specific design intent

Weaknesses

  • Source code unreadable, strategy logic cannot be verified
  • Risk management mechanisms cannot be assessed for completeness
  • Cannot determine if dangerous strategies like Martingale or Grid are present

Possible improvements

  • Convert source code to readable text format for analysis
  • Add detailed code comments and strategy documentation

Risk assessment

Overall risk: High risk

  • Source code unreadable, no risk management mechanisms can be verified
  • Cannot confirm absence of Martingale, grid, or other high-risk strategies
