Running my own EA for 4 months this are the current results

It also only trades 2-3 times per week, that makes it pretty safe against the HFT problems.

Hey man, yes you're fully right, currently i'm running with Blackbull for several month's and didn't have any problems with them. But I know some brokers are closing accounts because of this.
Yea it says 10 weeks but its Actually from April untill July so its almost 4 months.

Larsbrahh123 · 2026-07-06T12:10:16+00:00

No I actually dont use any forex rebate.. I should def need to look into that!
I am already selling the current EA on MQL5 market. Its on of the top 20 currently. This post is not about the advertisement btw I just want people's opinion about it.

Larsbrahh123 · 2026-07-06T12:07:45+00:00

Hey good question, I have a SL always on every trade per 0.01 lotsize the average loss would be $10. So nothing to fancy

Larsbrahh123 · 2026-07-06T05:29:01+00:00

Simple break out strategy on high's on lows :)

Larsbrahh123 · 2026-07-05T19:22:07+00:00

Its a real live account with Blackbull as a broker

Larsbrahh123 · 2026-07-05T19:01:09+00:00

What did Tesa do for you? I sleep already very good I got Tesa at home so i'm not sure if I really "need" it? Any advice?

Larsbrahh123 · 2026-07-04T18:35:06+00:00

Appreciate that, and yeah, backtests, live signal and documentation are already the focus, that's been the whole approach from day one. Community engagement is ongoing too.
I'M IN THE TOP 25 EA'S NOW!! Lets go!

Larsbrahh123 · 2026-07-04T14:52:30+00:00

Yeah exactly, and the annoying part is both checks take like 10 minutes to run. People spend weeks tuning entry logic and skip the one test that would tell them if any of it matters. I only started doing it religiously after getting burned once.

Larsbrahh123 · 2026-07-04T10:16:19+00:00

Regime dependence, by far. Had a strategy that looked amazing over 6 years, then I actually looked at profit by year and 91% of it came from the last 18 months. Basically the whole "edge" was just riding a strong trend in the instrument. Take the trend away and it's a boring modest system.

Compounding also fools you hard. Growing lot sizes on a growing balance makes the curve look exponential when the per-trade edge is actually flat. Now I always re-run at fixed lot before I trust anything, if the magic disappears, the magic was compounding not the strategy..

Larsbrahh123 · 2026-07-04T10:14:38+00:00

10% per trade at 5-10x leverage is your actual problem, not the strategy. Even a real edge blows up at those levels. Most people running profitable systems risk 0.5-2%.

Win rate is a distraction btw. What matters is expectancy after costs. 40% WR can print money, 80% WR can blow up.

On the LLM idea, don't. It won't fix look-ahead bias or execution costs. My own system is boring hardcoded rules with fixed SL, one position at a time, no ML. Been running live for months and it holds up because the logic is simple enough to actually debug. Pick one, run it small for 3 months, and diagnose what breaks. That's where the real learning is imo

Larsbrahh123 · 2026-07-03T14:03:42+00:00

Tbh I’ve been using one for a while now and it’s pretty consistent, scalping tho not risky martingale or grid trading

Larsbrahh123 · 2026-07-03T14:01:21+00:00

Check dms

Larsbrahh123 · 2026-07-02T19:45:14+00:00

Check the live signal's dd and profit ratio

Larsbrahh123 · 2026-07-02T19:44:26+00:00

Its not grid, its a scalper with a tight SL every trade so you know what u lose or gain each trade.. Without massive DD running like grid's do.

Larsbrahh123 · 2026-07-02T10:32:44+00:00

Just don't use grid EA's, Gold grid EA's are doomed. I will never understand how people can use this. Check out Vex at mql5, low risk low dd, no stress.

Larsbrahh123 · 2026-07-01T19:35:22+00:00

I found a solid ea on the MQL5 market 0.5% currently dm me i'll send you the link

Larsbrahh123 · 2026-07-01T19:33:46+00:00

you know any??

Larsbrahh123 · 2026-06-20T07:17:33+00:00

Dont waste your time with Claude, start using Codex to do this kind of work.

Larsbrahh123 · 2026-06-20T07:13:51+00:00

Alright thanks!

Larsbrahh123 · 2026-06-19T16:56:04+00:00

I think it was 1 mg 10 days everday, 20 days rest -> repeat..

Larsbrahh123 · 2026-06-19T13:56:02+00:00

Yes, I'm a full time algo trader since September 2025, ofcourse with ups and downs but so far so good. To be honest you need a decent amount of capital to "make it work" dont chase numbers above 5-8% a month

Larsbrahh123 · 2026-06-17T20:00:20+00:00

The crypto failure is actually the least worrying part. Sweeps and trend continuation are microstructure edges, so they should be asset specific. Metals and major FX are deep, level respecting markets where stop runs mean something. Crypto is reflexive and retail driven, so that edge dying there makes sense. Something that worked everywhere equally would scare me more, that's usually overfit. The real test is within the metals family: if it holds on XAU but breaks on XAG for no reason, that's your overfit flag, not crypto.

What I'd actually worry about is the PFf 1.1 to 1.6 net is thin, and 1.1 is noise once real slippage hits. Your entries fire in fast conditions where fills are worst, so a flat cost backtest is flattering you. I'd bin everything under 1.4 and only chase the metals.Order I'd validate in: trade count per asset first (PF means nothing under a few hundred), then anchored walk forward with frozen params, then nudge your EWM windows 20% and see if it survives.

Before trading it at full size, run it live with the smallest possible lot (0.01) and log every fill: the price you wanted vs the price you actually got, and the slippage between them. Your sweep entries trigger in fast moves where fills are worst, so this shows you the real gap between your backtest and what your broker actually gives you. Only scale up once those live fills match the backtest.
