In a world where most traders trade XAUUSD, instead of traditional currency pairs, my idea is to build a portfolio of EAs and trade XAUUSD. The most important thing to remember is to use EAs with different logic.
So I did a whole bunch of tests of the best selling EAs and spent $2800 to get 4 EAs that have different algorithms but trade XAUUSD (apart from Q King, it trades AUDCAD). One is grid, the other is no-grid, no-martingale, one is scalping, the others aren't etc. This is best shown in the Profit per month chart, when one is winning, the other is not and vice versa. It's also visible when you do the long strategy tests and see the DD dips in the curve. As long as they're not losing money at the same time, I'm satisfied.
I've done strategy testing (Roboforex ECN, 1:500, 35ms delay) for every month separately since Jan 2025 (I believe market has changed a lot since orange dictator has come to power, there is no need testing it before Jan 2025) with the assumption that I would live off of trading and withdraw every month from all accounts.I've also done optimizations and tried all the major settings for all EAs with all reasonable Lot sizes. All tests are monthly, for example, for Quantum Athena, I have done 12 sets of 18 months etc.
The other idea I had is what if I give every EA it's own 500EUR account and make 2 strategies, one is what i call KAMIKAZE and the other is SAFE. KAMIKAZE assumes that every acc. will eventually be blown, SAFE is designed to survive all events, apart from maybe one or two a year.If EA wipes a 500EUR acc. I would have a reserve to replenish it. Why only 500EUR? The biggest losing event I found in May 2025 was 1755EUR DD and it wouldn't help even if my acc. is 1000EUR, other months the money would just be trapped as no DD would be larger than half of 500EUR. Also, psychologically, it's easier for me to "swallow" a 500EUR loss, so I bet on a blown account several times a year, I think it would be wise to have 2000EUR reserve. One thing I have noticed immediately is that after such an event when more than 50% of your acc. is blown, there is almost always a period of rapid recovery, so if you wait only 2 days and replenish your account, you can expect to recover the lost funds within a week or two.
Back to KAMIKAZE method: I would put 500EUR on 3 acc. and run Q King along with some other EA since it trades AUDCAD (I purchased it just to have some small consistent profit every month to pay for my VPS etc.). As you can see, Quantum OmniGold has a lot of potential even if it blew the account 4 times during the last 18 months. My idea is that 20K profit or around 10K for the first 6 months of 2026 is enough profit to make you forget about all the losses it incurred. Zerqon is also good, with even lower DD and the fact that it didn't completely wipe the account as a bonus. I know about the July 1-2 loss for Zerqon that's not included in my analysis and I'm still not using it until it proves it can recover fast - I'm using it on a demo account currently.All in all I can't wait to try KAMIKAZE, I know it's going to take a big toll on me psychologically and if I don't make a significant profit in the beginning it may discourage me from continuing with it. If I'm crazy to think this would work, please reply below!
SAFE method is designed to help me with my monthly income as I wanted something that consistently makes money (apart from summer months and winter holidays). The settings are the minimums or reasonably minimum for each EA and DD numbers are giving me a lot of hope. Currently I'm running 2 EAs at the moment, so I have two 500EUR accounts.
As I mentioned, these results are from Strategy tester and not proven in reality yet. I will most likely do more tests over summer and start serious trading in September. Please let me know what you think below!
