can't get a profitable backtest on XAUUSD from any timeframe, what am i doing wrong?

Thank you for your feedback.

To clarify this point, I have run multiple additional backtests specifically to address this concern.

The screenshots included with the product already show profitable periods, but I have now also performed fresh backtests covering:

  • October through January (continuous period)

  • An additional standalone test starting from early January

In both cases, the EA generated profits using the default settings provided with the product, without any optimization or parameter changes.

It’s important to note that this EA is session-structure based, not a high-frequency or always-in-market system.
Results will therefore vary significantly depending on:

  • The tested date range

  • Market conditions (trend vs. range)

  • Spread and broker settings

  • Starting balance and risk assumptions

Short or random test windows may easily show flat or mixed results, which is expected behavior for this type of logic.

The EA is intentionally simple and conservative, focusing on session highs/lows and controlled risk rather than constant trading activity.
It is not designed to produce profits on every timeframe or every short test interval.

I hope the additional backtest screenshots help clarify this and provide better context for how the EA is intended to be evaluated.
