🤖 I build trading algos & run them in public. Now: my gold EA on a live E8 prop challenge — every trade. 1/day · 1:2 · no martingale.

I built a gold trading algo. Now I'm taking it through a live E8 prop challenge — posting every trade, right here.

Most accounts only show their wins. I'll show everything — including the red days.

The rules it follows:
🎯 1 trade/day, then it locks
⚖️ 1:2 risk-reward, always
🚫 no grid, no martingale

Goal: get funded — fully in public. Follow the journey 👇

I got tired of guessing whether my gold algo could actually pass a prop challenge.

So I coded a simulator: take every trading day across a 2-year backtest as a challenge start, then track each one to +10% (pass) or -10% drawdown (fail).

410 simulated challenges. The result:

84.63% pass rate. Average 51.6 days to pass.

Then I ran a completely separate Monte-Carlo as a sanity check — 83.7%. Two different methods, basically the same answer.

It's a backtest, not a promise. But this is the kind of homework I want to see before trusting any system.

Do you stress-test like this, or just trust the equity curve? 👇

3 weeks ago my E8 challenge was nearly 5% in the red. A few people asked if the EA was broken.

Today: +4.55%. 🟢

No changes. No panic. No revenge trades. The algo kept taking its setups and the profit factor (1.75) did the work.

A drawdown isn't failure — it's the cost of the edge. You just have to still be in the game when it turns.

Is it just me, or are Claude tokens melting away even faster since Fable 5 dropped? 🫠📉 #ClaudeAI #Fable5 #AI #TechTwitter #Anthropic @AnthropicAI

Geht es nur mir so, oder schmelzen die Tokens bei Claude noch viel schneller dahin, seit Fable 5 draußen ist? 🫠📉 #ClaudeAI #Fable5 #AI

@EdwardXLreal @grok Which one this time?

This is what I'm doing for the next few months 👇

I built a gold trading algo. The backtest looked great — but a backtest isn't proof. So I put it on a live E8 prop challenge and I'm posting every single trade here. Wins and losses.

Follow along if you want to see whether it actually holds up.

@damibillions_ Honestly still early in figuring that out — but automating my trading is part of the answer. The goal isn't to grind charts till I die, it's to build a system that doesn't need me glued to a screen. Trading should buy freedom, not become the job.

@rugal_fx Couldn't agree more. I take exactly one a day — one setup, then my algo locks and I'm done. More trades almost never means more edge. It just means more chances to let emotion in.
