List of things to do when first trying out this EA.
1. You should run this on a demo on your intended broker for as long as you feel comfortable before using live funds.
2. Run the MT5 strategy tester with the inputs it came with as a starting point.
3. Increasing the risk percentage will increase the potential draw down, but have bigger reward over time. See attached screenshots.
4. Check the spread in the strategy tester for your broker and see which gives the best results for you. Start with (20-35+, increment by 1)
Draw downs can be under 5% over a year period.
The images attached are all back testing runs with a reasonable starting balance of $10k.
Back test to get the settings for your starting account size. Any test results with a Sharpe ratio above 1.5 is great. Also, you want to minimize your draw down, under 40%, depends on your risk tolerance.
It is recommended to do the Forward test also (1/2,1/3), 9 months/3 months, and determine the most stable results from there.
Thank you for trying out our trading bot.
Note:
Back test using small risk, under 1%, even under 0.2% for prop firms.
Since this bot is generally new, we would recommend monitoring and closing some trades manually, especially in high volatility periods. We do have huge equity swings. We are working continually to improve profit taking. If the trend is strong, it will find a way to get back in.
Best of wishes in your journey.
