You download the free demo of an AI expert advisor, run it in the Strategy Tester, and nothing happens. No analysis, no decisions, maybe a few flat trades from a fallback rule. It looks broken. It isn't, and it's worth understanding why before you judge any AI EA, mine included...

A calendar shows U.S. GDP growth of 2.0%, while another economy reports 0.5%. Is the U.S. growing four times faster? You cannot answer until you check how each number is expressed. One may describe a quarter at an annualized pace, while the other measures the change during that quarter...

A chart shows where price is. It does not show how far it has fallen from its last peak, or for how long. Drawdown Map adds that missing view: a window under the chart that paints every drawdown in the history, and a panel with the numbers for today...

We took the MT5 backtest report of each of our listed EAs and put two drawdown figures from the same report side by side: the balance drawdown (closed trades only) and the equity drawdown (open trades included). This article uses backtests only. It contains no forward-account figures...

Trend trading is one of the most straightforward approaches to market analysis. Instead of trying to predict every price reversal, traders identify the prevailing market direction and look for opportunities to trade in that direction...

Hi everyone, I don't write blog posts very often. Most of my days are code editor, MetaTrader and support, so please forgive me if this comes out a bit messy. But today I wanted to say something in my own words, not in a polished announcement. October is my birthday month...

You win seven trades out of ten, yet your account goes backwards. How can that happen? The missing piece is the size of those wins and losses. A win rate tells you how often a trade made money. It says nothing, by itself, about how much money the strategy kept...

Most EA pages carry a year-by-year table. It looks complete, and it is one of the easiest tables in the report to misread, because every row starts on 1 January. Your account will start on whatever day you buy...

On Friday 30 January 2026, gold had its sharpest one-day fall since 1983. For anyone running an EA on XAUUSD, that day is now the most useful stress test in the data. Here is what was reported, and what it means for each type of EA. The day in numbers (as reported) Record first...

A good entry signal is not enough. Market conditions decide whether that signal is worth taking. Smart Liquidity Gold checks five filters before any order is placed. 1. Session filter. The EA trades only during the hours you allow, so dead or erratic sessions are avoided. 2. Spread filter...

Breakout EA sounds like one category. In practice, the label can hide completely different decisions: what creates the level, how price must cross it, whether a retest is required, how false breaks are filtered and what happens after entry...

Price has turned at your line, but that alone does not show whether it is a reversal or a bounce. Two chart checks help you judge the level before entry...

We took inspiration from Gold Reaper, kept the ideas we valued most, and developed Sycz Gold Breakout Master with one goal: refine those ideas and make them better...

This post carries the Nasdaq 100 settings file for Spring Break. The file is attached at the bottom of the post. It also states exactly what lot size the published results were run at, because that is not the size this file is set to. The file is set to 0.1 lots...
