Backtest Information
The portfolio report was generated using Quant Analyzer. The available portfolio data covers 2020 through 2026, with the latest reported 2026 results running through August. The portfolio consists of six strategy components: AUDCAD Buy, AUDCAD Sell, AUDNZD Buy, AUDNZD Sell, NZDCAD Buy and NZDCAD Sell.
Spread and commission were not added as separate fixed costs to the published backtest configuration. Actual trading results will therefore differ depending on broker spread, commission, swap, slippage, execution, leverage, liquidity and contract specifications.
Preset Files and Backtest Reports
All preset files and backtest reports referenced in this blog are attached to this post. The attached files can be found at the bottom of the blog. Please use the corresponding preset file for the symbol you want to test and review the attached backtest report for the reported historical results.
How to Use the Preset Files
- Download the preset corresponding to the desired configuration.
- Open MetaTrader 5 and select File > Open Data Folder.
- Open MQL5 > Presets.
- Place the .set file in the Presets folder.
- Attach Pacific Edge EA to a chart.
- Open the EA Inputs tab and select Load.
- Select the corresponding preset.
- Verify all parameters before enabling automated trading.
The EA can monitor the configured symbols from a single chart. If your broker uses symbol suffixes or prefixes, enter the exact broker symbol names in the Symbols input.
Risk Disclosure
Pacific Edge EA uses grid-based position management. Multiple positions can be opened during adverse price movements, which can increase floating losses, margin requirements and market exposure.
Historical drawdown is not a guaranteed maximum future drawdown. Changing EA parameters can materially change risk and performance.
Backtest results are not live trading results and do not guarantee future performance. Actual results can differ because of spread, commission, swap, slippage, liquidity, execution, leverage, broker conditions, account type and market conditions.
Users should test the EA with their own broker conditions and run a forward test on a demo account before considering live deployment.

Disclaimer
Trading financial markets involves substantial risk. Past Strategy Tester results are not a guarantee of future results. Users are responsible for evaluating the EA and determining whether its configuration is appropriate for their own circumstances and risk tolerance.
