The test
The MetaTrader 5 Strategy Tester on Ultima Markets price history, 20 October 2022 to 20 October 2026, with a one-minute OHLC model. The same compiled strategy files that customers receive were used. Equinox needs about 150 trading sessions of price history before its first trade, so its results start in March 2023 and cover 3.6 years.
Costs
The broker's spread and swap are included in every trade. No extra commission or slippage was added, so live fills will differ.
Sizing
Zenith, Vesper and Apex were run at a fixed 2 lots on NAS100. Equinox was run at a base of 2 lots, which it doubles to 4 on its strongest setups (hence the 2-4 lots shown). Solstice and Aurora risk a fixed $1,000 on every trade, which works out to about 0.02 to 0.7 lots depending on the stop distance. We also tested $250 to $5,000 per trade: profit factor and win rate stayed in a narrow band and the dollar results scaled in proportion.
What this is not
These are backtests, not live or forward-tested results. The four-year window combines in-sample data (the history each strategy was developed on) with out-of-sample data (history kept aside to test it), and the figures here are not split between the two. Read them as a full-period backtest, not as out-of-sample performance, and expect live results to differ.
Backtests, clearly labeled.
These results are shown for transparency into how the strategies behave, not as a promise of future results.
HYPOTHETICAL / SIMULATED PERFORMANCE HAS INHERENT LIMITATIONS. NO REPRESENTATION IS BEING MADE THAT ANY ACCOUNT WILL OR IS LIKELY TO ACHIEVE PROFITS OR LOSSES SIMILAR TO THOSE SHOWN. PAST PERFORMANCE IS NOT INDICATIVE OF FUTURE RESULTS. TRADING CFDS AND FOREX CARRIES SUBSTANTIAL RISK OF LOSS.
