July 2025 was an exciting month for Burning Grid, delivering strong results across all three risk levels, major technical updates, and a significant milestone with Darwinex Zero.
This report summarizes performance, strategy behavior, technical developments, and a special highlight of the month.
1️⃣ Strategy Performance
Burning Grid currently runs in three risk profiles:
-
Low Risk – Stability & conservative growth
-
Medium Risk – Balanced risk-to-reward profile
-
High Risk – Maximum performance under controlled risk
All accounts were traded actively in July and show the expected differences in drawdown and growth.
However, one notable event was the loss of a CHFJPY strategy on July 15, which resulted in a temporary equity drop.💡 Remarkably, the losses were fully recovered in less than 48 hours, demonstrating the resilience and recovery logic of Burning Grid.
🔹 High Risk – Aggressive Growth with Discipline
-
Monthly Gain: +30.31 %
-
Profit: €463.32
-
Max Drawdown: 52.22 %
-
Trades: 677 (94 % win rate)
The High-Risk account remains the performance flagship, although it naturally carries the highest volatility.
Equity charts show drawdowns during active grid clusters, but these are contained by rule-based exits.
Despite heavier capital exposure, the strategy ended the month with over +30 % growth — a testament to logic-driven loss control.
🔸 Medium Risk – The Strategic Balance
-
Monthly Gain: +27.18 %
-
Profit: €300.33
-
Max Drawdown: 45.77 %
-
Trades: 556 (94 % win rate)
Medium Risk once again proves to be the best balance of performance and stability.
While temporary drawdowns occurred, the recovery logic ensured smooth recoveries and consistent growth.
With its high win rate and moderate capital pressure, this profile is the recommended standard choice for most traders.
🔹 Low Risk – Steady, Conservative Growth
-
Monthly Gain: +21.10 %
-
Profit: €222.01
-
Max Drawdown: 21.38 %
-
Trades: 292 (95 % win rate)
The conservative variant continues to deliver high stability and low fluctuations.
With 95 % winning trades and minimal drawdowns, Low Risk is ideal for traders who prefer long-term, low-stress grid trading.

| Strategy | Growth | Drawdown | Profit | Win Rate | Profit Factor | Trades |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Low Risk | +21.10 % (prev:+22.64 %) | 21.10 % (16.90 %) | €222.01 (€194.34) | 94 % (98 %) | 5.17 (4.39) | 292 (324) |

2️⃣ ⭐ Special Highlight: Darwinex Zero – First Allocation Achieved
A key milestone in July: Burning Grid, combined with Burning London and a preview version of Burning Aurum, achieved its first capital allocation via Darwinex Zero.
📅 Timeline
-
July 2, 2025:
All open positions were intentionally closed to start with a clean slate for the Darwinex account.
⚠ This resulted in a realized loss of nearly 4 %. -
Immediately after:
The account was relaunched with a Darwinex-optimized setup featuring the High-Risk Level setup plus blocking running symbols.
Despite the initial -4 % realized loss, the account instantly qualified for the first allocation, highlighting the robustness of the combined system.
💡 Takeaway:
Achieving the allocation despite a realized 4 % loss demonstrates that Burning Grid and its companion strategies can meet strict, capital-market-like requirements while maintaining investor-friendly drawdowns.
Unfortunately Darwinex Zero is using demo accounts, so its not possible to run a signal on Metatrader.
3️⃣ 🔧 Technical Updates – July 2025
Burning Grid received three major updates in July, improving usability and professional deployment:
1️⃣ Symbol & Currency Blocker
-
Optional blocker at symbol or currency level
-
Prevents multiple strategies from trading the same symbol or correlated currencies simultaneously
-
Use case: Enabled for Darwinex Zero to avoid overlapping risk
2️⃣ Prop Firm & Small Account Modes
-
New selectable modes in the EA interface
-
Optimized for prop-firm accounts and small-cap trading
-
Simplified setup — no manual setfile adjustments required
3️⃣ Auto-Mode for Small Accounts
-
Fully automates small account management
-
Automatically switches to Regular Mode once account equity exceeds $10,000
-
Completely removes the need for separate small-account setfiles
💡 Advantage: These updates make Burning Grid more flexible, safer, and future-proof, especially for prop firm evaluations and account scaling.
