Demo account, $10,000, four trades of 0.08 lot an entry (0.01 lot per $1,250 of balance). A demo fills like a live account but is not real money; a few weeks of entries are a check that the bot does what the test says, not a record to judge it by. Times are the broker's server time.

Backtest · 1 Jan 2018 to 17 Oct 2026

$10,000 grew to $173,691 in 9 years.

"Fixed 0.08 lot" is the same year started fresh at $10,000 with 0.08 lot a trade, so the years compare on equal terms. Buys and sells are the net profit of each side.

The last three years, the way the crypto bots are judged

A separate tester run on real ticks, October 2023 to October 2026: $10,000 start, a fixed 0.08 lot a trade (four trades a signal), profits never re-risked. These are the figures on the bot's card.

How the trades ended

Every signal opens four trades at the same price. A, B and C have targets (+0.33%, +0.53% and +0.715% of price); D is a runner with no target, trailed 0.30% behind the best price once +0.50% ahead. All four move their stop to break-even after +0.12%. What is left hits the stop loss (−0.50% for A, −0.86% for the rest).

About this test

Where
MetaTrader 5 Strategy Tester on gold, leverage 1:500, 1 Jan 2018 to 17 Oct 2026, $10,000 start.
Price data
Only 38% of the test ran on the broker's real ticks (from October 2023). Earlier years use ticks modelled from 1-minute candles, which tend to look a little better than real trading.
Fills
The tester fills a stop order at the next tick, so every entry carries the spread and a small slip. The orders sit 0.04% before the swing level, so a fill comes a little before the point itself; a signal is skipped while the spread is above $1.50, around the US jobs report, over the year-end holidays and in the first two hours of Monday.
Costs
The broker's spread is in every trade. No commission on the account used. Swap on overnight positions is not included; the runner can stay open for days.
Not a promise
A backtest is a simulation of the past. The balance fell 22% from its high in Oct 2024, and Jul 2026 alone lost 19%; a stretch like that can come again, and most of the dollar profit came in the last two years, when the lot had grown. The demo above is the real check, and a small live account comes next.

Following this bot

It runs on MetaTrader 5, not on a crypto exchange, and you follow it on your own Zenexo account: our bridge copies every order into your account the moment it fills, 0.01 lot per $1,250 you allocate and four trades a signal, with the stop loss. Open a Zenexo account through our link, enter its number, add its password once, set the amount, and the copying starts from the bot's next trade. Pause, change or stop it any time. Fund in steps of $1,000.
