Back-test since Gold Reaper's signal started (22 Oct 2024)

Gold Beaver was not live before May 2026, so we ran its Combo Safe preset in the MT5 Strategy Tester (ICMarkets broker) over Gold Reaper's whole live period:

  • At the same max drawdown as Gold Reaper (about 17%, lot 7.5): +1,406%
  • At the default lot 10 (max drawdown 22.5%): +3,296%
  • Gold Reaper live over the same period: +357%

This part is a back-test, not live trading.

Why the difference

Gold Beaver trades gold breakouts with several strategy legs at once and moves each trade to breakeven fast - that is why 9 of 10 trades close in profit, and why the account compounds quickly when gold trends. Higher growth comes with more risk: Gold Beaver's live account uses a larger deposit load (11% vs 4.8%).

Where Gold Reaper is stronger: a longer track record (101 weeks) and a lower deposit load.

Why is Gold Reaper No.1 on the Market and Gold Beaver No.38?

The Market's default list ranks by popularity, not by trading results. Popularity grows with time, sales, rentals, demo downloads and reviews:

  • Time on the Market: since February 2024 (2 years 8 months) vs since 31 May 2026 (4 months)
  • Demo downloads: 31,276 vs 591
  • Reviews: 115 vs 4  (rating 4.45 vs 5.0)
  • Rent: from $399 vs buy-only $350
  • Live signal: 101 weeks and 61 subscribers vs 19 weeks

What the list does not measure is performance. Gold Reaper earned its place by being first and being around for a long time. Gold Beaver is new - and its numbers are already there.
