AI Strategy Analysis
AI verdict from verified statsAutomated gold scalper with high win rate, deep drawdown, short record
A fully automated scalping system trading only XAUUSD on a real MT5 account, holding positions about 11 minutes on average and placing about 7.9 trades per day, with a stop-loss on every trade and no take-profit. Over 50 days and 396 trades it shows a 105% time-weighted gain and a 89.4% win rate, but a profit factor of only 1.19 and a maximum drawdown of 45.9%.
Strengths
- •Stop-loss set on every trade, and 89.4% of stop-loss exits closed in profit, consistent with trailing stops locking in gains
- •No trade was added to a losing position and lot size was not raised after closed losses, so there is no grid or martingale behavior
- •Both recorded months were profitable (9.91% and 86.52%) on a real account
Risks
- •Average loss of 13.08 is 7.08 times the average win of 1.85, so a few losses can erase many wins
- •Deep maximum drawdown of 45.9% despite the short history
- •Entirely concentrated in one symbol, XAUUSD
- •Very short record of 50 days and two months, with most of the gain coming from a single month
What to watch
- •Whether the drawdown stays below 45.9% and the thin profit factor holds up as the record extends beyond two months.
- •Scalping profile — average hold 13 min, 5.6 trades/day.
- •100% of trades were placed by an automated system (EA).
- •Win rate 89% with profit factor 1.15.
- •Average loss is 7.03× the average win.
- •Stop-loss set on 100% of trades; take-profit on 0%.
- •100% of trades are in XAUUSD (1 symbol total).

Execution quality — spread & slippage
The two hidden costs behind every trade: the spread (the broker's buy/sell price gap) and slippage (how far a fill lands from the price that was set). Each row is a single instrument, in its own points — these differ by symbol, so they are never averaged together.
Slippage is only measured where a price was set in advance — a pending order's entry (buy/sell limit or stop) and an exit on stop loss or take profit. A plain market order has no set price to compare a fill against, so those trades are left out rather than estimated. A positive number means the fill was worse than the set price: stops and stop-outs typically slip against you, while limits and take-profits fill at the level or better.

Slippage · points, by order type
Entry fills, split by the order that placed them. A stop order commits to a trigger price and fills at market; a limit order must fill at its price or better.

Entry cost is this side's share of the trade's execution cost — entry and exit are split in proportion to the points each slipped, so switching the view never double-counts the same money. Total cost is both sides together and stays the same in either view. Positive points mean the fill was worse than the price that was set; negative means better. A dash means that order type was never used on this symbol — not that it never slipped. Symbols traded only with plain market fills have no set price to measure against and do not appear.
