How We Measure

Methodology

Understanding the metrics we use to evaluate every Expert Advisor.

The Sharpe Ratio measures risk-adjusted return — how much profit you earn per unit of risk taken. A Sharpe Ratio above 1.0 is considered acceptable, above 2.0 is excellent. We require a minimum of 1.0 for all EAs to pass our quality gate.

Formula: (Return − Risk-Free Rate) / Standard Deviation of Returns

A low Sharpe Ratio means the EA takes excessive risk relative to its returns — even with high win rates. We weigh this metric heavily in our approval process.

Profit Factor is the ratio of gross profit to gross loss. A Profit Factor of 1.5 means: for every $1 lost, the strategy earns $1.50. Our minimum requirement is 1.2 for backtests; live results above 1.5 are considered strong.

Formula: Gross Profit / Gross Loss

A Profit Factor below 1.0 means the strategy is losing money overall. Values between 1.0–1.2 are marginal and typically rejected.

Maximum Drawdown is the largest peak-to-trough decline in account equity during the testing period, expressed as a percentage. It represents the worst-case scenario for an account if you had started trading at the worst possible time.

Our hard limit is 20% Max DD. EAs exceeding this threshold are automatically rejected, regardless of other metrics. Most of our approved EAs stay under 15%.

All backtests are performed using MT5 Strategy Tester with every tick data (not open price only). We use real spreads, realistic commission settings, and account for slippage. Data quality is verified before each test run.

Before the full MT5 backtest, each strategy passes a faster Python backtest (VectorBT) on the same data — this pre-screens roughly 95% of strategies before the more expensive MT5 validation step.

Before any EA is published, it must complete a minimum of 30 days of live paper trading on an MT5 demo account. This catches issues that backtesting misses — such as execution delays, spread widening during news events, and off-hours liquidity gaps.

An EA is only published if it maintains Profit Factor ≥ 1.2 throughout the paper trading period without account ruin events. EAs failing this stage are sent back for review or rejected entirely.

⚠️
Important Risk Disclaimer

Trading foreign exchange, contracts for difference (CFDs), and other financial instruments carries a high level of risk and may not be suitable for all investors. The high degree of leverage can work against you as well as for you.

Before deciding to invest in financial markets, you should carefully consider your investment objectives, level of experience, and risk appetite. The possibility exists that you could sustain a loss of some or all of your initial investment and therefore you should not invest money that you cannot afford to lose.

Past performance is not indicative of future results. All results shown on this page are from backtesting and paper trading simulations. They do not represent actual trading results and there is no guarantee that any EA will perform similarly in live trading conditions.
