1 Jan 2020–8 Oct 2026 · EUR · current sale version 1.02 · each EA: 1% of fixed 10,000 EUR = 100 EUR planned initial-stop risk per trade. Retrospective sum of separate backtests; not a simultaneous portfolio backtest or real-money result.

Closed-position P/L, including recorded fees and swaps. Month-end observations; floating equity and intramonth drawdowns are not shown. *October 2026 ends on 8 October.
What does this mean for starting capital?
A purely arithmetic 10,000 EUR starting balance plus the combined net result gives 29,809.29 EUR (+198.09%), without compounding. With three separate 10,000 EUR allocations (30,000 EUR total), the same P/L gives 49,809.29 EUR (+66.03%). These are capital-reference calculations, not proof that a shared 10,000 EUR account could execute all trades.
One newly sized trade per EA would plan 300 EUR of initial-stop risk in total (3% of 10,000 EUR). This is no loss cap. Margin, simultaneous positions and execution interactions were not simulated jointly. Combining three full-sized EAs is not an equal-risk comparison with one EA.

Calculated from aligned monthly net P/L, not cumulative balance curves. Months with no closed positions count as zero; partial October is excluded. +1 means moving together, 0 little linear relationship, −1 moving oppositely. Near-zero historical correlation does not ensure diversification or protection in a crisis; all three can lose together.

Method, sources & limitations
Sources: the three current sale-binary native tests, 1,245 closed positions, RoboForex tester setup, real-tick model, 1:100 leverage, 100 ms delay. Real-tick mode selected; native data/tick coverage warnings retained. Dates follow tester close timestamps; no UTC conversion is inferred. Costs are those recorded by the individual runs; EA purchase/rental and VPS costs are excluded. Missing historical ticks are not repaired by this analysis.
This is a retrospective aggregation of selected strategies, not an independent out-of-sample test. We do not infer joint floating-equity drawdown, margin feasibility or future returns from these monthly figures. Past and simulated results do not predict future performance. Total loss remains possible.
No averaging into losing positions and no loss-recovery lot progression. Each trade starts with an individually calculated stop-loss. Monday Band Entry can tighten it with optional trailing. Stop distances and lot sizes can vary between trades; a stop-loss does not guarantee the execution price or cap losses.
What do I need to run the EAs?
MetaTrader 5 on a supported desktop system and a suitable broker account. The EAs run in the terminal, which must remain connected for continuous operation. A VPS is optional. The Instagram and MT5 mobile apps cannot run these EAs.
Can I test before buying?
Yes. The Market demo is for the MT5 Strategy Tester. It does not replace a forward test on a trading account. Downloads and current terms are available on each MQL5 product page.
What does “1% of 10,000” mean?
In fixed-reference mode, position size uses 1% of 10,000 account-currency units: 100 units of planned initial risk per newly sized trade, regardless of the current balance. Current-balance percentage risk and fixed lots are also available. Multiple positions can create greater combined exposure; actual losses may exceed the planned risk.
Which symbols and timeframes are intended?
ADX Swing Breakout: USDJPY H1. Monday Band Entry: .JP225Cash H1 (Japan 225). Regression Cross Gold: XAUUSD H8. Broker symbol names may differ. Other assets and timeframes are configurable, but equivalent performance has not been established.
Do the EAs work with every broker?
There is no universal guarantee. Symbols, trading hours, spreads, commissions, minimum lots, stop distances and margin can differ. Test the setup in your own terminal. Use unique MagicNumbers; on netting accounts, avoid sharing a symbol with other strategies without assessing the interaction.
How do I install a purchased EA?
Sign in to your MQL5 account in the MT5 terminal and install the EA from your Market purchases. Open the intended chart, review the inputs against the product guide and enable Algo Trading after setup. For assistance, use the product's comment section on MQL5.
Do backtests guarantee profits?
No. Historical and simulated results do not predict future performance. Check the test version, period, data quality, trading costs and risk profile. There is no profit or capital guarantee; trading can result in the loss of invested capital.
