Turtle One MT5

Hello, I'm sorry to hear about your recent experience. It's important to understand that you entered Turtle One during a difficult market period. Turtle One is designed as a **long-term trend-following system**, so periods of drawdown are a normal part of its trading cycle before it captures larger trending moves. According to the historical backtests, Turtle One has an average winning rate of around **68%**. This also means that approximately **32% of trades can be losing trades**. The EA intentionally uses a relatively small stop loss to keep individual losses under control, so consecutive stop-outs can occur during choppy or ranging market conditions. For this reason, **proper risk management is essential**. My recommended configuration is: * **Minimum balance:** 1000
* **Lot size:** 0.01 Here's why: Turtle One can place up to **8 pending orders on each side**. With a **0.01 lot size** and a **25-pip stop loss**, each stopped-out trade represents approximately **$2.50** of risk. If all eight positions on one side are stopped out, the total loss would be approximately **8 × $2.50 = $20**. The account should therefore have enough capital to comfortably absorb these normal losing periods while allowing the EA to continue trading until the next profitable trend develops. Please also note that the official Turtle signal has experienced similar losing periods in the past before recovering. This behavior is expected for trend-following systems and should be evaluated over a long series of trades rather than a few individual days. One thing I also noticed is that your broker appears to have relatively high **slippage**. High slippage can significantly reduce performance by causing entries and exits to be executed at worse prices than intended. For the best results, I strongly recommend using a well-regulated broker with low spreads, fast execution, and consistently low slippage. Thank you for your patience and understanding. Trading systems should always be evaluated over the long term, with appropriate capital and disciplined risk management, rather than based on short-term market fluctuations.

hello there, thank you for the kind review. **Added on August 8, 2026 – Important Risk Management Notice** Turtle One achieved approximately a **68% winning trade rate in historical backtesting**. However, this does not mean that the EA will generate winning trades consistently or without periods of losses. A 68% historical win rate naturally includes losing trades, losing streaks, and periods of drawdown as part of the strategy's normal performance cycle. Turtle One is designed with a **long-term trading perspective**, so its performance should not be evaluated based on only a few trades or a short period of use. Market conditions constantly change, and the EA may experience both profitable and unfavorable periods. For this reason, **proper risk management is essential**. Always use a lot size and account balance appropriate for your risk tolerance, maintain sufficient free margin, and avoid excessive exposure. The objective is not to eliminate losing trades, but to ensure that the account has sufficient capacity to withstand normal drawdown periods and continue operating over the long term. Broker conditions can also significantly affect real trading results. Execution speed, spread, slippage, liquidity, and trading conditions may differ between brokers. We therefore recommend using a reputable broker with **clear regulatory standing, competitive spreads, and reliable execution**. **Important:** Backtest results represent historical performance and do not guarantee future or live trading results. Always trade responsibly and use risk settings appropriate for your account size.
