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
The EA employs a trend-following strategy with its core logic based on moving average crossover signals to identify trend direction, supplemented by momentum indicators such as RSI or MACD as entry filters to ensure positions are opened only when trend strength is confirmed. Entry conditions require the fast moving average to cross above the slow moving average while the momentum indicator aligns with the trend direction, and may include a volatility filter to avoid trading during low-volatility sessions. Exit conditions consist of a trailing stop to lock in profits, a fixed take-profit target, and a trend reversal signal that triggers position closure. Position sizing uses a fixed fractional risk model, calculating lot size based on account balance and stop-loss distance to ensure controlled risk per trade. In terms of money management, the EA adjusts stop-loss distances and position sizes to account for the high volatility characteristics of Gold and Silver, avoiding unnecessary losses from excessive spreads or volatile market conditions.
Strengths
- Specifically optimized for Gold and Silver, adapting to the high volatility characteristics of precious metals
- Employs fixed fractional risk position sizing for controlled per-trade risk exposure
- Includes spread filter and trailing stop for robust risk management
- Clear trend-following logic suitable for capturing medium to long-term market moves
Weaknesses
- Trend-following strategy prone to frequent false signals and consecutive losses in ranging markets
- Relies solely on moving averages and momentum indicators without multi-timeframe confirmation, limiting signal reliability
- No explicit new bar check mentioned, risking multiple entries on the same candle
- Over-optimized for specific instruments with poor generalization, cannot be applied to other trading pairs
Possible improvements
- Add multi-timeframe confirmation such as H4 trend direction combined with H1 entry signals to improve signal reliability
- Incorporate a ranging market detection filter (e.g., ADX or Bollinger Band width) to pause trading during sideways markets and reduce false signals
Risk assessment
Overall risk: Medium
- Trend-following strategy may generate consecutive small losses during ranging markets
- No explicit new bar check mechanism, posing a risk of duplicate position openings
- High volatility of precious metals may cause stop-loss slippage
