Moving Average EA Backtest Report for Gold

Article MQL5 code base
Read the original

Summary

The document is a strategy tester report for an automated trading system on spot gold, using an hourly chart over a stated historical period. Its parameter list includes fast and slow moving-average periods, ADX and RSI thresholds, and take-profit and stop-loss settings. It records starting capital, trade counts, win and loss statistics, and several profit and drawdown measures. The report therefore offers a compact example of the outputs used to describe a rules-based trading system’s historical performance.

The reported test shows positive net profit, a profit ratio above one, and a high share of profitable trades, alongside a maximum relative loss figure. These figures describe only this configured test. The document does not explain the entry and exit rules in enough detail to reconstruct the EA, nor does it provide a benchmark, robustness checks, or evidence about performance outside the tested period. Model quality and spread are listed, but the report alone cannot establish that results would persist in live trading or under different execution costs.

Key ideas

  • The report tests an automated gold strategy on hourly data over a specified historical period.
  • Its listed inputs combine moving-average periods with ADX and RSI thresholds.
  • The tester reports profitability, trade outcomes, and drawdown measures for the configured run.
  • The report does not provide enough rule detail to reproduce the strategy or assess robustness.
