Row set above is illustrative — final table reflects only strategies confirmed in your supplied material.
Sentinel Prime note: Max FL% (max floating loss) is a different measure from the max drawdown figures on its factsheet (4.35% BT / 5.95% live), and the 174-trade count here differs from the 70 live trades / 818 backtest trades reported on that page — flagging both rather than reconciling, since the source of this widget vs. the earlier trade-stats panel hasn't been confirmed as the same account/scope.
Falcon Index note: the Max FL% (-20.54%), 149 trades and 226-day period above come from a live account performance widget. The factsheet page's backtest figures (10.60% equity-based max drawdown, 351 trades, Jan 2025 – Jul 2026) come from a separate MT5 Strategy Tester report — a different dataset covering a different, longer period. Both are shown as reported rather than reconciled into one figure.
Vector Alpha note: the Max FL% (-74.66%), 40 trades and 215-day period above come from a live account performance widget. The factsheet page's backtest figures (11.84% equity-based max drawdown, 392 trades, Jan 2022 – Jul 2026, EURGBP) come from a separate MT5 Strategy Tester report, and the live account's traded pairs haven't been confirmed to match EURGBP. Both are shown as reported rather than reconciled into one figure.
Dark Apex note: the Max FL% (-23.69%), 178 trades and 307-day period above come from a live account performance widget. The factsheet page's backtest figures (3.66% equity-based max drawdown, 150 trades, Jan 2022 – Jul 2026, NZDCAD) come from a separate MT5 Strategy Tester report, and the live account's traded pairs haven't been confirmed to match NZDCAD. Both are shown as reported rather than reconciled into one figure.
Trinity Core note: the Max FL% (-14.30%), 174 trades and 419-day period above come from a live account performance widget covering a much longer window than the backtest. The factsheet page's backtest figures (16.74% equity-based max drawdown, 93 trades, Jan – Jul 2026, XAUUSD) come from a separate MT5 Strategy Tester report, and the live account's traded pairs haven't been confirmed to match XAUUSD. Both are shown as reported rather than reconciled into one figure.
Raiden note: the only backtest found for this EA (60 trades, Jan–Aug 2026, roughly breakeven, profit factor 1.00) is a poor match for the live figures above (1,412 trades, 462 days, +62.01% growth) — shown on the factsheet page as a clearly-flagged mismatch, not as a validated pairing.
Source: MetaTrader 5 Strategy Tester report (XAUUSD, H1). Recovery factor 124.76. This matches the win rate, profit factor, Sharpe and trade count reported earlier from a separate screenshot, confirming that figure set.
Balance stays essentially flat for roughly the first 610 trades, then compounds into a steep climb over the final quarter of the test as position size scales with a growing account.
Growth rises through Jan–Apr 2026, including a pronounced drawdown in mid-to-late February (consistent with the 5.95% max DD reported), peaks in late April at roughly +2.7%, then drifts gradually lower through May–Aug while remaining in positive territory throughout.
This has been one of our stronger-performing satellite strategies, giving the portfolio diversified exposure to gold and a different source of returns. Despite the performance, we don't view it as a core holding... rather, a smaller allocation designed to complement the portfolio and capitalize on favourable conditions in gold.
Source: MetaTrader 5 Strategy Tester report (USA30, M5). Max Drawdown shown is equity-based (575.28, 10.60%); balance-based drawdown was smaller at 215.87 (3.80%). Recovery factor 2.56.
Source: live account performance widget. Win rate, per-trade profitability and average trade duration weren't supplied for this account, so they're omitted here rather than estimated.
Balance climbs in a steady, low-volatility line for most of the test, with brief flattening stretches around trades 30–45 and 110–135, then compounds into a faster climb over the final third of the period.
Balance climbs steadily from late December through February, dips around a withdrawal in late April before recovering quickly, then compounds into a smoother, faster climb from mid-June through early August.
Falcon Index provides strong diversification through global equity exposure and its ability to capitalize on both long and short market conditions. With a consistent track record and a ~20% maximum drawdown, its risk-adjusted profile supports a slightly higher allocation than a typical satellite holding.
Source: MetaTrader 5 Strategy Tester report (EURGBP, H1, HF Markets SA). Max Drawdown shown is equity-based (127.67, 11.84%); balance-based drawdown was much smaller at 20.34 (1.70%). Recovery factor 8.39.
Source: live account performance widget. Win rate and per-trade profitability weren't supplied for this account, so they're omitted here rather than estimated. The -74.66% Max FL% is notably deep relative to the backtest's 11.84% max drawdown — shown as reported rather than reconciled, since the live account's instrument mix isn't confirmed to match the EURGBP backtest.
Balance rises in a steady, near-linear line for the full period, with a handful of step-like jumps (notably mid-way and around three-quarters through) rather than sharp drawdown swings.
Growth climbs unevenly through a volatile March stretch, flattens through April–May, then compounds faster into late June before a sharp pullback that briefly erases most of the drawdown cushion, followed by a partial recovery.
Vector Alpha has historically been one of our strongest and most profitable strategies, although its multi-pair Martingale structure introduced periods of significant equity drawdown. Exposure has now been reduced from 5 currency pairs to the 2 strongest performers (CADCHF and EURGBP), with the objective of preserving the strategy's return potential while reducing drawdown pressure and producing a smoother, more consistent equity curve going forward.
Source: MetaTrader 5 Strategy Tester report (NZDCAD, M30, HF Markets SA). Max Drawdown shown is equity-based (37.56, 3.66%); balance-based drawdown was smaller at 7.80 (0.76%). Recovery factor 4.16.
Source: live account performance widget. Win rate and per-trade profitability weren't supplied for this account, so they're omitted here rather than estimated. The -23.69% Max FL% is deeper than the backtest's 3.66% max drawdown — shown as reported rather than reconciled, since the live account's instrument mix isn't confirmed to match the NZDCAD backtest.
Balance climbs in a smooth, steady line for the full period, with only minor step-adjustments around trades 30 and 130 — the most consistent, lowest-volatility backtest curve of the strategies built out so far.
Growth climbs steadily through October and November, flattens with a pullback through January–February, then compounds through a strong March–July stretch with a sharp dip and recovery in late May.
[Commentary pending — add notes on how Dark Apex fits the portfolio once you're ready.]
Source: MetaTrader 5 Strategy Tester report (XAUUSD, H1, HF Markets SA). Max Drawdown shown is equity-based (186.92, 16.74%); balance-based drawdown was smaller at 86.88 (7.78%). Recovery factor 0.76.
Source: live account performance widget. Win rate and per-trade profitability weren't supplied for this account, so they're omitted here rather than estimated. The live account's 419-day track record is considerably longer than the Jan–Jul 2026 backtest window, and its traded pairs aren't confirmed to match XAUUSD — shown as reported rather than reconciled.
Balance rises in a steady climb through most of the period, with two notable pullbacks — a shallow dip in the low-teens trade range and a sharper drop around trade 80 — each followed by a quick recovery back onto the trend.
Growth climbs steadily with a brief early dip, then accelerates into a sharper, sustained climb from roughly the one-third mark onward through to the most recent data, aside from a couple of sharp single-day pullbacks that recover quickly.
Trinity Core is positioned as one of our more conservative gold strategies, prioritising capital stability and controlled drawdown over aggressive growth. With lower trading frequency and historically shallower equity fluctuations, it serves as a core gold allocation within the portfolio, providing measured exposure to gold while complementing higher-growth strategies.
Data mismatch flag: the only MT4 backtest found for this EA (60 trades, Jan–Aug 2026, roughly breakeven) does not reconcile with the live account below (1,412 trades, 462 days, +62.01% growth). These are shown side by side as reported, not as a matched pair — the backtest should not be read as validating the live results, or vice versa.
Source: MT4 Strategy Tester report ("RFP JapanStrike EA V2.1", USDJPY, M15, HFMarketsSV-Live). Modeling quality was 63.51% with 4 mismatched-charts errors flagged in the report itself. Net result is effectively breakeven (profit factor 1.00) over this window.
Source: live account performance widget. Win rate and per-trade profitability weren't supplied for this account, so they're omitted here rather than estimated.
Balance drops sharply through the first third of the test, bottoming out roughly 9% below start, then recovers in a slower climb back to about breakeven by the end of the window — consistent with the near-1.00 profit factor.
Growth dips slightly in the first few weeks before a sharp recovery, then climbs in a long, steady near-linear line for most of the period, aside from a brief sideways stretch and pullback around the two-thirds mark.
Past performance is not indicative of future results.
Backtested results are hypothetical and have inherent limitations, including the benefit of hindsight in rule design.
Backtests may not account perfectly for real-world execution factors including spreads, slippage, liquidity and latency.
Live results can differ materially from historical simulations.
Systematic trading involves risk and can result in losses, including loss of principal.
Drawdowns and periods of underperformance should be expected as a normal part of systematic strategy performance.
Nothing in this report should be interpreted as a guarantee of future performance or as investment advice.
