How the orders ended
Every order ends one of two ways: the trailing stop takes it out in profit, or the $10 stop loss takes the loss. There is no take-profit.
By exit
| Exit | Orders | Share | Net profit | Average |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Trailing stop | 5,253 | 84.1% | +$269,217 | +$51.25 |
| Stop loss | 990 | 15.9% | −$208,591 | −$210.70 |
Median win $37.62, median loss −$140.35: many small wins pay for fewer, larger losses.
Buys vs sells
| Side | Orders | Win rate | PF | Net profit |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Buy (break of the high) | 3,345 | 86.0% | 1.58 | +$54,228 |
| Sell (break of the low) | 2,898 | 82.0% | 1.06 | +$6,398 |
Most of the profit came from buys. Sells were close to break-even over the whole test and lost money in 2024–2026.

About this test
- Where
- MetaTrader 5 Strategy Tester on XM's GOLD# (XM Ultra Low), leverage 1:100, 1 Jan 2018 to 16 Oct 2026, $10,000 start.
- Price data
- Only 38% of the test ran on the broker's real ticks (from May 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; on the demo the bot's fills have been within a few cents of the level.
- Costs
- The broker's spread is in every trade. No commission on the account used. Swap on overnight positions is not included; most orders close within the day.
- Not a promise
- A backtest is a simulation of the past. 2018 lost 18% and 2020 fell 35% before recovering; a year like that can come again. 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, so members follow it on their own MT5 account, two ways. On Zenexo, our bridge copies every order into your account the moment it fills, 0.03 lot per $1,000 you allocate, with the stop loss; you link the account, add its password once, set the amount, and pause or stop any time. On XM, you follow it through XM Copy Trading from your own XM account. Either way, fund in steps of $1,000.
