Backtest Results
⚠️ Fill in with your own verified Strategy Tester report before publishing — see note at the end of this document.
- Tested on XAUUSD, M1, from Feb 2026 to 29 Sep 2026

⚠️ Past backtest performance does not guarantee future results. A multi-period backtest showing consistent recovery says something real about how this strategy has behaved historically, but it can't rule out a future stretch of price action outside anything seen in the tested history. Please read the full Risk Disclosure below before buying.
Recommended setup
| Setting | Recommendation |
|---|---|
| Symbol | XAUUSD (Gold) |
| Timeframe | M1 |
| Account type | Hedging or netting — both supported |
| Starting balance | 200,000 cents ($2,000) minimum recommended, using the EA's default inputs |
| Settings | Default inputs, unless you've backtested and understood the effect of changing InpMultiplier or InpMaxLayers specifically |
| Hosting | VPS with low latency to your broker, running 24/5, so trend checks, trailing, and layer timing stay accurate |
⚠️ Risk Disclosure — please read
- Start on a demo account, or with a small live balance you can afford to lose, before running it at the recommended size
- Understand exactly what InpMultiplier and InpMaxLayers do before changing them from default — increasing either compounds risk faster than it looks
- Monitor your account regularly; a martingale-style system can move balance quickly in either direction
- Use a VPS so the EA's trend-fail and trailing logic can react promptly — a dropped connection during an open basket is the worst-case scenario for this style of system
Who this is for
Traders who understand martingale-style position sizing and are comfortable with its risk/reward trade-off — faster recovery from drawdown when the trend cooperates, in exchange for real exposure growth when it doesn't. Not intended as a "set and forget on a small account" system; it's built for traders sizing their balance appropriately for the strategy's risk profile.
A free demo version is available — test it fully in the Strategy Tester or on a demo account before you buy.
Note on the placeholders above: run your own backtest with the default settings on XAUUSD M1, export the Strategy Tester report, and replace every bracketed figure with the real numbers before publishing. MQL5 reviewers and buyers compare listing claims against the actual attached report — for a martingale-style EA specifically, buyers and reviewers tend to scrutinize the drawdown and trade-count figures closely, so make sure the tested date range is long enough to include at least one extended adverse trend, not just a favorable stretch. Paste your real Strategy Tester summary and I'll drop the exact figures into the copy for you.
