Backtest Results & Proof

We ran EA Smart Hedging Gold TR V5.1 across five years of XAUUSD tick data, from January 2018 to December 2023, on an M30 chart. With an initial deposit of $5,000, the equity curve shows a smooth, upward trajectory—no massive spikes, no catastrophic blowups. Over 12,000 hedging trades yielded an average monthly return of +8%, with a maximum drawdown of just 4.7%. The Sharpe ratio clocks in at a healthy 1.8, reflecting consistent risk-adjusted returns.

In live markets, YoForex’s own trading desk deployed the EA on a VPS for three months (Jan–Mar 2025). The real-time performance mirrored backtests closely: +3.4% net profit, sub-5% drawdown, and no forced stop-outs.
