Robust
PF = gross profit ÷ gross loss (1.3+ is a good guide) · Max DD = the largest temporary drop in equity (under 20% is a good guide). See the glossary (Glossary)
⚔️ Ranking figures (annual return / max DD) reflect each EA's Attack mode (maximum-risk setting). Safe-mode measured figures and a side-by-side comparison are on each EA's detail page.

📐 Methodology & Glossary (click to expand)
📊 Test data
- Real price data from MT5 XMTrading-MT5 3 server (5 years, ~30,000 H1 bars)
- Grid search (50–500 combinations) for parameter optimization
- Train(60%)/Test(40%) split to detect over-optimization
⚙️ BT lot settings (uniform across EAs)
- Initial balance: ¥100,000 (≈$670) × fixed 0.01 lot
- Simple 10y forecast: fixed 0.01 lot held for 10 years (measured annual return × 10)
- Compound 10y forecast: theoretical value if switched to compound mode (risk %) as balance grows
- Lot rounded down to 0.01 (XM Standard min-lot constraint)
⚠ Gap vs default (caution EAs)
The EAs below ship with a default RiskPercent lower than the BT setting. Actual returns may be lower than the compound forecast in the ranking:
- GOLD Breakout (D1): default 0.5% (BT: 1.0%) → about half the live yearly return
- GBPUSD Scalp (M15): default 0.5% (BT: 1.0%)
- USDJPY (H4): default 0.7% (BT: 1.0%)
- BTCUSD / GBPJPY: default 0.75% (BT: 1.0%)
💡 To match the ranking yearly return, set RiskPercent=1.0% manually. For high-volatility EAs we still recommend the default.
