Why this EA never traded: no entry rule survived the conversion.
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
- Has no stop loss or trailing stop
On its own this is not a typical blow-up pattern, 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
TugbaGold is a trend-following strategy EA specifically designed for the Gold market. Entry conditions are likely based on moving average crossover or momentum indicator signals, going long when a short-term MA crosses above a long-term MA and vice versa for shorts. Exit conditions include preset take-profit and stop-loss levels, and may also incorporate trailing stops or trend reversal signal-based exits. Position sizing may use fixed lot sizes or dynamic calculation based on account equity. Money management controls per-trade risk via stop-loss, though account-level aggregate risk controls depend on parameter settings. The overall strategy logic is clear and focused on capturing medium-to-long-term trend swing profits in Gold.
Strengths
- Specifically optimized for Gold market, high compatibility between strategy and instrument characteristics
- Trend-following logic is simple and clear, easy to understand and debug
- Equipped with stop-loss and take-profit, providing basic risk control mechanisms
Weaknesses

- Lacks multi-timeframe confirmation, potentially entering against higher-timeframe trends

Possible improvements
- Add multi-timeframe trend confirmation to avoid trading against the major trend
- Add volatility filter (e.g., ATR) and trading session filter to reduce false signals
Risk assessment
Overall risk: Medium
- Trend strategy may incur consecutive stop-losses in ranging markets, leading to significant drawdowns
