MT5 820082

This appears to catch frequent minor breakouts via pending buy/sell stop orders and trailing stop. The description says "trend-following", which for some definition may be so, but today there were some alternating buys and sells (since there's no clear trend?)

On this platform, the pending orders are not copied - only the resulting trades are, and this is at a moment when the price is moving rapidly. The expected payoff per trade is just $0.69 at 0.01 lots per recent MQL5 statistics. So I thought that this strategy would be great to run locally, but tough to copy reliably profitably. Yet I gave it a try today - and well, the prices I got are often worse, but also often better than the signal's. My broker's spread is about the lowest that exist for XAUUSD, which partially compensates for imperfect copying. Overall, based on 17 trades copied so far (7 losses and 10 wins), I got roughly 90% of the corresponding profit seen on the signal account, which is surprisingly good.

The signal server appears to be in Europe. I use a MQL5 VPS in New York to be close to my broker's server, which provides ~80 ms ping to the signal server and ~2 ms to my broker's server.

Others trying to copy this should realize that it is very demanding on low spread and low delays.

I also got a prompt and helpful reply from the signal provider.
