We took the published MT5 backtests of 9 of our EAs, added up the closed trades month by month, and asked one question: once the closed balance reached a month-end high, how many months did it take to close a month above it again? This article uses backtests only...

You've read that Darwinex Zero gives capital to good traders, and you're wondering if a monthly subscription can really turn into allocations. This Darwinex Zero review uses my own DARWIN, EGCW: two allocations in a row, then a month where it came close and didn't land. The useful part is why...
We took the trade counts behind the backtest figures of our listed EAs and asked one question: how many trades stand behind each win rate? This article uses backtests only. It contains no forward-account figures. Figures are as of 2026-10-22...
Every candle timer tells you how long the candle has left. Candle Timer Pulse also tells you whether the candle is already big, and measures that on the symbol's own history at the same hour of day, because a 16:00 candle and a 23:00 candle are not the same thing...
Correction (2026-10-26): the figures labelled "equity drawdown" in this post (MEGAMAX DONCHIAN 16.27%, GOLD NEURON 28.5%, GOLD KING 42.8%) are the MT5 report's "Maximal" values, the largest peak-to-trough fall measured in money...

I build and sell Gold Aegis Protocol, an Expert Advisor, or EA: a trading robot for MetaTrader. When I check a backtest, I want the native tester report beside the settings. An equity curve alone leaves too much of the test unexplained. Here is one of my MT5 Strategy Tester simulations...
My non-repainting indicator checks itself, and I would rather tell you where it stops than let the word audit do more than the code. What it does: on attach it re-derives every expected gap from closed bars and compares it with the record, over up to fifty closed bars...
I keep coming back to one thing about a fixed stop: it is not a fixed amount of money. It is a number of points, and the symbol decides what a point is worth...
Getting gold’s direction right feels good. Watching an open profit disappear feels considerably worse. The difficult decision often comes after the entry: close too soon and miss the continuation, or keep the original stop and risk giving everything back...

I trade forex, gold and indices on MetaTrader 5, and for a long time I missed a few simple tools that I had on other platforms. So I built them myself – and decided to share them for free. Here are the first three. All of them are indicators only: they never open, modify or close trades. 1...
Every trader has rules written somewhere: risk 1%, no trading during the news, stop after three losses. But there is a second set of rules that nobody writes down, because we don't know they exist. They are hidden in our own results...
If you scale into gold, you know the moment. You have ten or twenty entries open, price turns, and every stop loss needs to move. In MetaTrader 5 that means opening each position, typing a price, confirming, and doing it again, while the market keeps running...
