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.

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
This EA employs a scalping strategy focused on capturing small price movements on lower timeframes. Entry conditions are likely based on short-term momentum indicators or price breakout signals, entering trades when rapid price movement is detected. Exit conditions typically feature tight take-profit targets and relatively close stop-loss levels to maintain a high win rate. Position sizing may use fixed lot sizes or a simple proportion based on account balance. Money management relies on high-frequency trading to accumulate profits since each individual trade yields a small gain. The core risk of this strategy lies in spread and slippage eroding profits, especially during periods of low market liquidity which can lead to consecutive losses.
Strengths
- Scalping strategy can profit frequently in ranging markets without requiring a directional trend
- Small take-profit targets lead to a relatively high win rate and lower psychological pressure
- Suitable for lower timeframe trading with high capital utilization efficiency
Weaknesses
- Scalping is heavily impacted by spread and slippage; trading costs can erode profits significantly
- High-frequency trading demands fast execution; VPS latency can lead to losses
- Lacks trend filtering mechanism, which may cause frequent stop-losses in strong trending markets
Possible improvements
- Add a spread filter to pause trading when the spread is too wide to protect profits
- Add a trend filter indicator (e.g., EMA200) to prohibit opening positions against the prevailing trend
Risk assessment
Overall risk: Caution
- Scalping strategy lacks a spread filter, which may cause continuous losses in high-spread environments
- No explicit new bar check mechanism, potentially leading to repeated position openings on the same bar
