Hello, Gold Fighter MT5 trading community! 👋
We are constantly striving to improve and upgrade the EA, bringing you an increasingly effective and reliable trading tool. One of the most significant upgrades in recent versions is the optimization of the Entry signal filter. 🚀
We understand that some users might wonder why newer versions sometimes enter fewer trades compared to older ones.
Does this affect performance?
To answer this question transparently and based on actual data, we conducted a detailed back-test comparison between two states of the EA:
- Raw Signals: The version without the advanced signal filter applied.
- Signal Filtered: The version with the advanced signal filter applied.
Comparison Method 📊
- Time Period: From 01/01/2020 to 01/01/2025 (5 years of data)
- Broker: IC Markets
- Key Metrics: Total Trades, Total Net Profit, Win Rate, Commission + Swap Costs, Average Trades Per Week
What Do the Results Say? 📈
Here is the summary table of the back-test results:
Detailed Analysis 🔍
- Slightly Fewer Trades: As expected, the “Signal Filtered” version had fewer total trades (1,652 vs. 2,254) and a lower average number of trades per week (6.3 vs. 8.6). This shows that the filter eliminated approximately 600 signals (about 27%) that it deemed substandard or higher risk. ✅
- Soaring Win Rate: This is the clearest evidence of the filter’s effectiveness. The win rate increased significantly from 91.39% to 96.37%. This means the remaining trades after filtering have a much higher probability of success. The filter successfully retained quality signals and removed the majority of low-potential ones. 🎯
- Total Net Profit Nearly Doubled: Despite trading less often, the “Signal Filtered” version generated considerably higher net profit ($92,282 vs. $51,563) – an increase of nearly 80%! This conclusively proves that focusing on quality over quantity yields superior financial results. Avoiding potential losing trades is far more valuable than attempting to catch every signal. 💰
- Trading Costs (Com + Swap): The total cost for the filtered version is slightly higher. This is logical; with a higher win rate and larger profits, it’s likely that winning trades were held longer or accumulated better volume, leading to a corresponding increase in swap/com costs. However, the substantial increase in net profit more than compensates for this slight rise in costs. ⚖️
Conclusion 🏆
The backtest data over 5 years on IC Markets clearly demonstrates: The advanced signal filter in EA Gold Fighter MT5 does not reduce effectiveness but significantly improves overall performance.
Seeing the EA enter trades less frequently is not a negative sign. Rather, it’s evidence that the filter is working effectively, helping you to:
- Avoid high-risk, low-probability signals. 🚫
- Focus capital on higher-quality opportunities. 🌟
- Achieve a higher win rate. 📈
- Optimize long-term net profit.
So, if you notice your EA isn’t trading as often as before, rest assured that this is part of the design intended to deliver better and safer trading results for your account. We believe the “quality over quantity” strategy is the key to sustainable trading success.
