I tested an EA I created myself on a demo account and it really performed well on XAU/USD. The account balance is at 1700.
You made one good trade and felt the need to post about it?
I hope you’re keeping it together after that laughter.

Come on, I spent months coding my strategy into this EA and it has a risk reward of at least 1:2 for trades. I’m only testing it starting today, so this is a big deal for me.

That’s quite impressive, congrats! Hope you can build on this success.
Thanks a lot! I’m currently working on adding machine learning to it. So far, I trained it on a couple of years of EUR/USD data.
@Ren
sigh After spending months coding an EA, you really think 1:2 is a big deal? You’re in for some surprises.
What happened to the other EA you mentioned six months ago?
@Ren
Ignore that negativity, just keep at it and you’ll succeed. Just remember, risk to reward isn’t the only thing to focus on.

Typical post around here. They usually only make one post for a reason. You’ll never see the losses posted.
Is this some kind of joke?
Where are the other trades that supposedly smashed it?

It was just one trade, I started it today. It’s not a high frequency EA that goes crazy with a lot of trades.

You should have more than just one trade to analyze its performance. Ideally, 500 to 1000 trades over a few months to see if it’s profitable or not.

I know, I just started. But for a first trade, I’m pretty happy with how it went.
You’re really at the start with just one trade. Good luck! Hope it keeps going well.

Congrats, my friend!
What is your EA’s strategy based on?
It is a winning trade, which is good. But saying your EA smashed it might be pushing it. You can say that when you show us it regularly wins.
Good luck, man. Don’t let the negative comments get to you. You can always optimize and adjust if things don’t go as you want, which is a normal part of the process.
