UNDERSTANDING THE RESULTS
Profitability
The backtest recorded a net profit of 2,224.67 against an initial deposit of 1,000. This represents a reported net gain of approximately 222.47% over the tested period, assuming both figures are denominated in the same currency and the initial deposit is the appropriate baseline.
The profit factor of 1.40 indicates that the strategy generated 1.40 units of gross profit for every unit of gross loss during this test.
Risk and Drawdown
Maximum balance drawdown was 12.93%, while maximum equity drawdown reached 22.67%. The equity figure is particularly important because it reflects the impact of floating losses during open positions.
Traders should evaluate whether this level of drawdown is appropriate for their capital, risk tolerance, and trading objectives before using the EA on a live account.
Trading Characteristics
The strategy completed 357 trades, with 19.33% recorded as profitable. Its average winning trade of 113.56 was substantially larger than its average losing trade of 19.48.
This profile is consistent with a trading approach that seeks relatively large winners while accepting frequent losing trades. However, the report also recorded a maximum consecutive losing streak of 18 trades, which traders should consider when planning their capital and risk limits.

IMPORTANT RISK DISCLAIMER
Backtesting results are historical and do not guarantee future performance. The reported results depend on the tested instrument, timeframe, broker data, execution assumptions, and strategy settings. Live results may differ because of spread, commission, slippage, liquidity, and changing market conditions.
The reported maximum equity drawdown of 22.67% and maximum losing streak of 18 trades demonstrate that significant losses remain possible. The configured 1% risk setting does not guarantee that actual losses will always be limited to 1% per trade.
Forward-test the EA on a demo account and independently verify the results before trading with real capital. Never risk money you cannot afford to lose.
