Gold Tempo 1.21: after a restart, it no longer sits out the next fifteen hours

⚙️ Six gold pairs from one XAUUSD M15 chart: XAUUSD, XAUEUR, XAUGBP, XAUAUD, XAUJPY and XAUCHF. Each pair has its own measured session and confirmation. A broker-side stop on every position, sent with the order, nothing held overnight or over a weekend, and one shared cap on the whole book.

📊 Strategy Tester, January 2022 to August 2026, 3000 USD account, factory defaults: +1598.2% in total, 86.2% a year, profit factor 1.57, 23.82% worst equity drawdown, 1553 trades. The same test's hard part: worst month −15.4%, 16 losing months out of 55.

🔧 What 1.21 fixes. Two of the entry modules trade only when the market is quiet, measured against the median of their own recent volatility. In 1.2 that median was built only while the robot ran. So after every start, a terminal or VPS restart, re-attaching the robot or changing an input, the M5 module sat out 5 hours and the M15 module 15. Version 1.21 loads that history from the chart at start and trades as if it had never stopped.

No backtest can show this, because the Strategy Tester never restarts. We found it by replaying our own live account against the tester, trade by trade. Most trades matched to the minute. The ones live had missed came in the hours after a restart.

On the reference test every trade is the same as in 1.2. Version 1.21 also names itself on the panel and adds two panel options.

⚠️ Not a holy grail. A real system with real rules, and a fix found on a real account. Strategy Tester results, not a promise.

Index Cadence below 2000 USD: your broker picks the lot, and the robot says so in red

⚙️ One instrument, the US tech index CFD, intraday on 15-minute bars. Around the US cash open it measures how far this market normally travels by each time of day and draws a band from that. A 15-minute candle closing outside the band is the signal, above it buys, below it sells. A hard broker-side stop on every position, and everything closed before the end of the trading day.

📊 Backtest January 2020 to June 2026, the Balanced default: 57.2% a year at a 16.9% worst equity drawdown on 3000 USD, 53.7% at 16.1% on 1000 USD, 47.3% at 23.0% on 500 USD.

That last row has a story. Below about 2000 USD the broker's minimum lot can no longer size a trade the way your risk setting asks, and not at random: it is the widest-stop trades, from the most volatile weeks. Version 1.0 skipped them. On a 500 USD account a test of this year then showed three trades.

Since version 1.1 the robot takes them at the minimum lot and says so every time: while it runs, in the summary, and as a red row on its panel. The choice is yours, with the price in front of you. Measured on 500 USD, taking them gives the same return as skipping them, on 1 779 trades instead of 1 562, with the drawdown at 23.0% instead of 15.7% and the worst single position risking 3.9% against a 1.0% setting. One input switches back to skipping.

And the index has roughly doubled since 2020, so at today's price a 500 USD account is at the minimum lot almost every trade. The 500 row is carried by the early years.

⚠️ Not a holy grail. The 16.9% is one path, not an expectation: out of sample the same mechanism drew down about twice as deep, so plan Balanced for 25 to 35 percent. Strategy Tester results, not a promise.

Index Cadence 1.2: a trailing stop, and what it costs

⚙️ One instrument, the US tech index CFD, intraday on 15-minute bars. Around the US cash open it measures how far this market normally travels by each time of day and draws a band from that. A 15-minute candle closing outside the band is the signal, above it buys, below it sells. A hard broker-side stop on every position, and everything closed before the end of the trading day. No overnight, no weekend.

📊 Backtest January 2020 to June 2026, 3000 USD, the Balanced default: 57.2% a year, worst equity drawdown 16.9%, profit factor 1.36, about 275 trades a year.

Version 1.2 added one thing, on request: an optional trailing stop for the open position. Before it shipped we measured it on the same test as the published figures. At 1.5 ATR the drawdown fell to 13.3% and the return fell to 36.5% a year. At 1.0 ATR, 30.9% a year at 13.5%. A break-even stop at 1.0 ATR, 42.6% at 15.6%. The drawdown falls, the return falls further.

The reason is the trade count. An early exit frees the position, and the robot enters again the same day: 1 795 trades became 3 043 at 1.5 ATR. More trades, each with a smaller edge.

So it ships off by default, and every figure on the listing is measured with it off. If you want a shallower drawdown, the Conservative package is the other lever: 0.50% risk, about 23% a year at a 7.96% drawdown. Your account, your choice, and now each one has its price next to it.

⚠️ Not a holy grail. The 16.9% is one path, not an expectation: out of sample the same mechanism drew down about twice as deep, so plan Balanced for 25 to 35 percent. Strategy Tester results, not a promise.

Index Cadence on real ticks: 56.0% a year against 57.2% on 1-minute bars

⚙️ One instrument, the US tech index CFD, intraday on 15-minute bars and flat before the close every day. A band drawn from how far this market normally travels by each time of day, a 15-minute close outside it as the signal, a hard broker-side stop on every position.

📊 The same test run twice, January 2020 to June 2026, 3000 USD, the Balanced default:
1-minute bars: 57.2% a year, worst equity drawdown 16.9%, profit factor 1.36
Every real tick: 56.0% a year, drawdown 16.8%, profit factor 1.35
Identical trade count.

Most intraday robots lose a great deal when the tester moves from bars to real ticks, because a one-minute bar hides the order in which prices moved inside it. This one gives up 1.2 points a year, 57.2% to 56.0%: its entries are taken on closed 15-minute candles and its stops are wide relative to the spread. The listing prints both numbers, so you can see the gap instead of trusting that there is none.

⚠️ Not a holy grail. Both are Strategy Tester results, and the 16.9% is one path: out of sample the same mechanism drew down about twice as deep, so plan Balanced for 25 to 35 percent.

Index Cadence: two thirds of the profit comes in the first 45 minutes

⚙️ One instrument, the US tech index CFD, intraday on 15-minute bars. Around the US cash open it measures how far this market normally travels by each time of day and draws a band from that. A 15-minute candle closing outside the band is the signal, above it buys, below it sells. A hard broker-side stop on every position, and everything closed before the end of the trading day. No overnight, no weekend.

📊 Backtest January 2020 to June 2026, 3000 USD, the Balanced default: 57.2% a year, worst equity drawdown 16.9%, profit factor 1.36, about 275 trades a year.

Where that comes from matters for your account: two thirds of the profit comes from the first 45 minutes after the US cash open. So the spread your broker quotes at the open counts for more than its spread the rest of the day. Measured on five brokers, the result ran from 9.9% worse to 5.9% better than our primary feed, profit factor 1.34 to 1.42, and a broker whose spread widens sharply at the open would hurt more than any of these did. The free demo runs on your own broker's data, and that result, not the listing, is what your account would have seen.

⚠️ Not a holy grail. The 16.9% is one path, not an expectation: out of sample the same mechanism drew down about twice as deep, so plan Balanced for 25 to 35 percent. Strategy Tester results, not a promise.

Bitcoin Interval from 500 to 10 000 USD: the same robot, the same profit factor

⚙️ BTCUSD only, about sixty trades a year. It reads calendar windows: when a window closes it asks how far price travelled, whether the move held, and whether the daily trend agrees, then trades the continuation. A hard broker-side stop on every position and a time limit in hours.

📊 Default package, each account size measured on its own, January 2020 to August 2026:
500 USD: +330.7%, 24.9% a year, equity drawdown 14.57%, profit factor 1.51
1 000 USD: +372.8%, 26.7% a year, equity drawdown 16.29%, profit factor 1.50
3 000 USD (reference): +412.7%, 28.3% a year, equity drawdown 16.77%, profit factor 1.50
10 000 USD: +432.8%, 29.1% a year, equity drawdown 16.80%, profit factor 1.50

The profit factor barely moves, so the small rows measure the strategy rather than the lot floor. Position size follows the account. The rules do not change.

⚠️ The one place size does matter. The minimum position is 0.01 BTC and cannot be divided. On a small account at current Bitcoin prices the calculated size rounds up to that minimum, so real risk per trade exceeds the setting. The EA takes the trade anyway and reports it. The 500 row is carried by the early years of the window, when Bitcoin was cheaper. Below that it gets wilder: at 100 the listing measured equity drawdowns of 23 to 41 percent. From about 500 it behaves as designed.

Not a holy grail. A rules-based system, measured in the Strategy Tester, not a promise about the next year.

Gold Tempo: almost every gold robot says no martingale and no grid. What that list decides is how an account dies

⚙️ Six gold pairs from one XAUUSD M15 chart: XAUUSD, XAUEUR, XAUGBP, XAUAUD, XAUJPY and XAUCHF. Every position is sized once at entry from your risk setting, the broker-side stop is on before the order is sent, and the whole book is bounded by one shared cap across all six.

📊 Grid and martingale die on one move that never comes back, because the position grows while it is wrong. Here losses come as a grind instead, and the listing counts it: worst month −15.4%, 16 losing months of 55, the longest run of losing months three, twice, the deepest decline on closed trades 22.1% with 125 days to recover, and 258 days as the longest wait for a new equity peak. Tested January 2022 to August 2026 on a 3000 USD account at the Balanced default: +1598.2%, 86.2% a year, profit factor 1.57, worst equity drawdown 23.82%, 1553 trades.

⚠️ Not a holy grail, and the cap is not safety. A real system with real rules, every entry, stop and exit fixed in advance. If you would switch it off in the middle of a 258-day wait, it is not your product, and it is better to learn that on the free demo than with money on it. Strategy Tester results.

Bitcoin Interval in the 2022 bear year: +14.7%, measured on its own

⚙️ BTCUSD only, about sixty trades a year. It reads calendar windows: when a window closes it asks how far price travelled, whether the move held, and whether the daily trend agrees, then trades the continuation, long or short. A hard broker-side stop on every position and a time limit in hours.

📊 Each calendar year measured on its own, default package, 3000 USD: 2020 +52.6%, 2021 +23.9%, 2022 +14.7%, 2023 +20.2%, 2024 +55.1%, 2025 +9.0%, 2026 to July +11.9%. The 2022 bear year came in at a profit factor of 1.28 over 60 trades, with an 11.36% equity drawdown. The whole window, January 2020 to August 2026: +412.7%, 28.3% a year, worst equity drawdown 16.77%, 397 trades.

⚠️ Not a holy grail. A real system with real rules: every entry, stop and exit follows conditions fixed in advance. No losing year in this test is not a promise about the next one, and fewer than half the trades close in profit, 47.1%. Strategy Tester results.

Gold Tempo: six gold pairs from one chart, and only one of them may lead

⚙️ The six are XAUUSD, XAUEUR, XAUGBP, XAUAUD, XAUJPY and XAUCHF, all traded from a single XAUUSD M15 chart. They do not share one rule. XAUUSD leads. The five crosses are each restricted to the role they measured best at, each with its own session and confirmation, and four of them may only open while XAUUSD already holds a position in the same direction. Median hold is about two hours, a six-hour backstop closes anything still open, and nothing is held overnight.

📊 Tested January 2022 to August 2026 on a 3000 USD account at the Balanced default: +1598.2% over the window, 86.2% a year, profit factor 1.57, worst equity drawdown 23.82%, 1553 trades. Total open risk is capped across all six as one cluster, because six gold pairs are one gold bet and not diversification.

⚠️ Not a holy grail. A real system with real rules, every entry, stop and exit fixed in advance. Worst month −15.4%, 16 of the 55 months lost money, and the longest wait for a new equity peak was 258 days. Strategy Tester results, and the crosses have wider spreads than XAUUSD, so cross trades are fewer by design.

Index Cadence: one entry from the live account

⚙️ What the chart shows. On 21 September the US tech index moved sideways for the hours before the US cash open, and Index Cadence sat through them without a position. At the open the index broke higher and the EA bought 0.1 lot at 30050, with a hard broker-side stop under the entry from the moment it opened. It closed the position at 30529.9 when it went flat for the day, +41.85 EUR at the minimum lot. It closes everything before the end of the trading day, so nothing sees the night.

📊 Why it looks like this. In the listing's own words, the mechanism is anchored to the US cash open. One instrument, intraday, flat before the close, about 275 trades a year. Most days are not this one. A day that trends from the open looks like the picture, a day that chops takes a small stop, and the result is decided by how the two add up over months.

⚠️ One trade is not a record. Index Cadence has taken 14 trades on this account so far: 5 won, 9 lost, +25.39 EUR net, and this one was the best of them. The FXer trade log for Index Cadence alone on that account, all 14 trades, is on the product's Comments tab. That is the shape of the system, a run of small stops paid for by the days that travel. The account is the TechnoTrader EA Showcase, 500 EUR of real money running three EAs from the same line at factory defaults, so its curve belongs to the three together and every trade is on the page, the losing ones included. The red row on the panel is the minimum lot. Below about 2000 USD the broker's smallest lot cannot size the trade the way the risk setting asks, and the EA takes it anyway at the minimum lot and says so, on the panel and in its summary.

Index Cadence on a challenge account: what the rule protection costs

⚙️ One instrument, the US tech index CFD, intraday on 15-minute bars and flat before the close, about 275 trades a year. Every position carries a hard broker-side stop from the moment it opens. Nothing is held overnight, so the exposure most funded programmes restrict never exists.

📊 The optional prop block is off by default. Switched on it tracks static and daily drawdown, flattens well before the limit rather than at it, and forces risk to 0.40% per trade. We simulated a 10% target with a 10% static and a 5% daily limit, starting a challenge on every trading day of an out-of-sample window: 25.3% of attempts breached a rule at 1.00% risk and 0.7% did at 0.40%. In-sample data hides that difference entirely.

⚠️ Not a holy grail. A real system with real rules, and the protection is not free: 17.4% a year at a 6.8% drawdown, against 57.2% and 16.9% in normal mode on the same test. It protects the rules. It does not promise you will pass. One warning we hit ourselves, prop platforms often carry very little price history, so you may not be able to verify anything on their own server.

Swing Meridian: judged in quarters, not in trades

⚙️ 18 instruments from one chart: an eleven-instrument swing basket trading breakouts of daily levels, a three-pair intraday sleeve and a four-pair cross-rate sleeve. The measured average hold is under two days, a minority run one to three weeks, and every rule it follows is enforced by code.

📊 Tested January 2020 to June 2026 on a 3000 USD account at the Balanced default: +2218% over the window, 62.4% a year, profit factor 1.31, worst equity drawdown 30.5%, 1798 trades. Read by horizon, the same test says 45% of single trades ended positive, 52% of months, 77% of quarters and seven of seven calendar years.

⚠️ Not a holy grail. A real system with real rules, every entry, stop and exit fixed in advance. Worst month −12.7%, four losing months in a row at worst, and the longest wait for a new equity high was 14 months. On other broker feeds we measured, the same configuration returned roughly 20-40% of these figures. Strategy Tester results.

Gold Tempo: one setting, and it picks the drawdown

⚙️ Six gold pairs from one XAUUSD M15 chart: XAUUSD, XAUEUR, XAUGBP, XAUAUD, XAUJPY and XAUCHF. Nothing held overnight, a broker-side stop on every position.

📊 Tested January 2022 to August 2026 on a 3000 USD account at the Balanced default: +1598.2% in total, 86.2% a year, profit factor 1.57, worst equity drawdown 23.82%. The one input most buyers touch is the risk package: Conservative measured 15.95% drawdown at 52.1% a year, Aggressive 27.92% at 133.4%. Signals and exits are identical in all three, only the size changes.

⚠️ Not a holy grail. A real system with real rules: every entry, stop and exit follows conditions fixed in advance. 16 of 55 months lost, and the longest wait for a new equity peak was 258 days. Strategy Tester figures.

⚙️ Gold Tempo, 199 USD. Six gold pairs from one XAUUSD M15 chart: XAUUSD, XAUEUR, XAUGBP, XAUAUD, XAUJPY and XAUCHF. Previous-day level breaks, intraday, nothing held overnight. Tested January 2022 to August 2026 on a 3000 USD account: +1598.2% in total, 86.2% a year, profit factor 1.57, worst equity drawdown 23.82%, 1553 trades. https://www.mql5.com/en/market/product/191673

⚙️ Swing Meridian, 149 USD. Eighteen instruments in three sleeves: gold, silver, oil, yen pairs, crosses and two crypto CFDs. Positions average under two days and a minority run one to three weeks.

⚙️ Bitcoin Interval, 199 USD. BTCUSD only, about sixty trades a year, two calendar-window modules and a time limit on every position. Tested January 2020 to August 2026 on a 3000 USD account: +412.7% in total, 28.3% a year, worst equity drawdown 16.77%, profit factor 1.50, 397 trades. https://www.mql5.com/en/market/product/193069

📊 Every figure above is a Strategy Tester result at default settings, each measured separately over its own window, and the listing for each one carries the losing months, the longest losing run and the deepest drawdown next to the return. None of them is a holy grail. Each is one measured edge, executed with discipline.

⚠️ They are deliberately different instruments. Gold Tempo and Swing Meridian both touch gold, so running both is more of the same risk, not diversification. Everything else is separate: an index, Bitcoin, and a basket that spans metals, oil and yen crosses.

⚙️ Each carries a hard broker-side stop on every position. No martingale, no grid, no averaging down, in any of them.

Index Cadence: six and a half years in the tester, 57.2% a year

⚙️ One instrument, the US tech index CFD, on M15. Around the US cash open the EA measures how far this market normally travels by each time of day, using the last 14 sessions, and draws a band from that. A 15-minute candle closing outside the band is the signal: above it buys, below it sells. Every position carries a hard broker-side stop, and everything is closed before the end of the trading day. No overnight, no weekend.

📊 The tested window, January 2020 to June 2026, a 3000 USD account on the default Balanced package:

57.2% a year
Worst equity drawdown 16.9%
Profit factor 1.36
About 275 trades a year
Year by year: +60%, +40%, +55%, +47%, +85%, +53%, and +30% in the first half of 2026

📈 The picture is the Strategy Tester's own report, nothing redrawn and nothing smoothed. On real tick data instead of one-minute bars the same run gives 56.0% a year at a 16.8% drawdown, with an identical trade count.

⚠️ The honest part, and it is on the listing: fewer than half of these trades make money, 42%, and the 16.9% drawdown is one realised number from one path. Out of sample the same mechanism drew down roughly twice as deep, so plan the default package for 25 to 35 percent, not 17. This is not a holy grail. It is one measured edge, executed with discipline, on real historical data.

⚙️ The free demo runs this same test in your own Strategy Tester, on your own broker's data. That report, not this post, is what your account would have seen.
