  1. For the next 5 minutes, you can watch an impressive 15-year simulation based on real market data, and see how my Expert Advisor (EA) withstands even the toughest market conditions.
    Even during the dramatic 2008 Dow Jones crash, my system proved its resilience, effectively managing severe fluctuations and ensuring consistent recovery!

  4. Thats because if you have an EA that is capable of making money, you do not sell it. If you sell it then you do not trust it. If you do not trust your EA, it cannot make money :)

    We don't do backtests here. Only OOS walk-forwards are believed, that is, real time trades. :sneaky:

    Not sure why you seem to pretend that tough market conditions are bad for trading.
    On the contrary, they are very good. They bring market volatility, and that's what traders wish for.

    As for your backtest results, without any details, it's hard to evaluate them. And for details, I'm referring to order execution details, not the strategy entry/exit criteria. Most of the backtest results are biased because fill price are not realistic.

    He announced his system on EliteTrader on Aug 20, 2024 and promoted it several times after that.

    Since then, here are the trades (first entry 08/23/2024, last exit 03/12/2025):

    Assuming the Gain % is correct, the 34 trades had total gain of -10.54% or a compound annual gain of -18.32%.

  8. The EA I have created trades mainly on major news.
    In 17 years of simulation it has shown that before every doubling of my capital there is a drop of the order of 20% from the peak of the capital. The same happened in August 2024 as shown in the image.

    The same happened every year with economic announcements that shocked the market except for 2008 and 2015 where in 2008 there were 3 consecutive drops of the order of 20% (60%) and in 2015 2 consecutive drops of the order of 20% (40) you can see them in the video below.
