Profitable on 2 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.

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

Since the source file is in binary format and cannot be directly read, based on the filename BotCilentoV1.35 and common MQ5 EA patterns, this EA likely employs a short-term scalping strategy based on technical indicators. Entry conditions probably rely on combinations of technical indicators such as moving average crossovers, RSI overbought/oversold levels, or MACD signal line crossovers. Exit conditions typically feature tight take-profit targets and stop-loss levels, pursuing a high win-rate, small profit per trade pattern. Position sizing may use fixed lot sizes or dynamic lot calculation based on account balance. Money management in scalping strategies generally requires strict stop-loss control and spread filtering, but specific implementation details would need source code review to confirm.

Strengths

  • Automated execution eliminates emotional trading decisions
  • Scalping strategy may generate consistent small profits in low-volatility markets
  • Adjustable parameters allow users to optimize the strategy for different market conditions

Weaknesses

  • Scalping is highly sensitive to spreads; high-spread environments can lead to losses
  • Source code is in binary format, preventing users from auditing or modifying strategy logic
  • Lack of backtesting data verification raises questions about strategy reliability

Possible improvements

  • Add a spread filter to avoid opening positions during high-spread periods
  • Add a new bar check to prevent duplicate entries on the same candle

Risk assessment

Overall risk: Medium

  • Scalping strategies can experience significant slippage during news events and sharp volatility
  • Inability to audit source code means hardcoded risk parameters cannot be verified
