For reference, here are our own two gold EAs measured on the same MetaQuotes-Demo server. The conditions differ from the table above (10 years 2016.10–2026.10, every tick, $10,000 start, compounding, Standard mode, max DD on equity basis; the table above is 11.5 years, OHLC, default parameters). They are reference values, not a like-for-like comparison. Price and review counts are as of 2026-10-31.

Each EA page lists year-by-year results and max drawdown.

Limitations of This Test (Please Read)

• All figures are on default settings. Results may differ with the vendor's recommended settings.
• The results come from a single feed (MetaQuotes-Demo). Numbers change with the broker (cross-broker EA results).
• The 1-minute OHLC model (Model=1) can be optimistic for scalpers with thin take-profits (real ticks vs OHLC).
• This article covers backtests only and does not include live (forward) performance. Past test results do not guarantee future performance.
• Max DD is equity-based. For the difference from balance-based DD, see equity vs balance drawdown.

Summary (Facts Only)

• On 11.5 years of MetaQuotes real data with default settings, Gold Trade Pro MT5 scored PF 2.10, 7.7% max DD, 3,053 trades (rated Excellent).
• If you are considering it, we recommend checking with the free demo that the result reproduces on your own broker's feed with default settings, whether your capital allocation can tolerate a drawdown of around 7.7%, and whether a live track record exists.

We also publish all long-term backtest figures for our own EAs, together with the maximum equity drawdown (test conditions are stated on each EA page). See our verification methodology and the EA ranking. Results for all 43 EAs are in the mass backtest article.
