The data as it is, unpolished
Every result below was produced in the MetaTrader 5 Strategy Tester. We show drawdown as clearly as profit, because that is what decides whether your account survives.
How we test
- 99% history quality · 149,892,450 ticks
- Broker data: ICMarketsSC-Demo — net profit is after commission and swap
- Same period for every tier: 14 Feb 2025 – 27 Oct 2026
- Every one of the 501 trades used exactly 0.01 lot — no martingale, no lot multiplication
- Never more than one position open at a time — no grid, no averaging
One strategy, four account sizes
Same test period for every tier. Each tier uses its own fixed lot and stop-loss settings.
