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.

Strategy analysis
The core strategy of this EA is based on trend following principles, utilizing a moving average system to determine market trend direction and entering long positions when price is above key moving averages with momentum confirmation. Entry conditions typically include a fast moving average crossing above a slow moving average, price breaking through a key moving average level, and momentum indicators being in favorable zones. Exit conditions rely on preset stop loss and take profit ratios, and may also include a trailing stop mechanism to lock in profits as the trade moves favorably. Position sizing employs either fixed lot sizes or dynamic lot calculation based on account equity percentage. Money management is handled through risk percentage parameters that control the exposure per trade. The overall strategy logic leans toward conservative trend following, but lacks adequate sideways market filtering which may generate numerous false signals during ranging conditions.
Strengths
- Clear strategy logic based on trend following principles with relatively high win rate when trading with the trend
- Built-in stop loss, take profit and trailing stop functionality providing solid risk control
- Highly adjustable parameters suitable for optimization across different market conditions
- Uses magic number for order management preventing conflicts with other EAs
Weaknesses
- Lacks sideways market filtering mechanism, prone to false signals and frequent losses during ranging conditions
- No spread filter detected, which may be disadvantageous in high spread environments
- Missing new bar detection mechanism, potentially causing repeated entries within the same bar
- Insufficient backtesting data, strategy adaptability across different instruments and timeframes is unverified
Possible improvements
- Add sideways market identification filters (such as ADX or Bollinger Band width) to avoid frequent trading during ranging markets
- Implement new bar detection and spread filtering functionality to improve entry quality and reduce unnecessary trading costs
Risk assessment
Overall risk: Medium
- Missing new bar detection mechanism, potentially causing over-trading with repeated entries on the same bar
- No spread filter detected, high spread periods may negatively impact trade quality
- Trend following strategy may incur consecutive losses during ranging markets
