5/7
This is just January. I've completed the full 12-month backtest and will share the yearly summary soon.
Not financial advice | Past performance โ future results.
Always do your own testing.
4/7
What stood out:
โข Performed well during strong trends (Gold had nice moves in Jan)
โข Drawdowns came from choppy periods โ typical for trend/breakout 2RR systems
โข Risk management worked exactly as designed (losses ~1R, winners ~2R)
Just finished backtesting my 2RR Gold Model on XAUUSD for January 2025.
Setup:
โข H4 for bias
โข H1 for confirmation
โข M5 for entries
Fully mechanical, 2:1 fixed RR.
+9.13% in one month (129 trades).
Thread + equity curve ๐

@pixelrumination This was a most pleasant read. I am one of those who thinks same, and I dedicate my time to make legacy software intuitive and easy for the everyday user.
Great post!
