Where the data comes from
Every published figure is derived from trading records produced by the strategy account itself and imported into this system in bounded batches. Nothing is estimated, back-filled from a marketing model, or rounded up in our favour. Performance data is sourced from: imported deal history (the authoritative record of closed trades), and equity snapshots that this system recorded while running.
How the balance curve is built
The balance curve is reconstructed chronologically from closed deals. Each deal contributes its profit, commission, swap and fee, and the running balance is accumulated in deal order. Because the reconstruction is arithmetic on recorded values, the curve can be rebuilt at any time from the same history and will produce the same result.
Why live equity starts later
Live equity depends on floating profit, which only exists while positions are open. It cannot be recovered for any period before this system began recording it. We therefore publish an explicit equity start date rather than implying a longer track record than we actually have. When no equity snapshot exists yet, the interface says so plainly instead of showing a zero.
Total return
Total return is net profit divided by the opening balance, expressed as a percentage. Net profit is the sum of profit, commission, swap and fee across all closed deals, with balance operations such as deposits and withdrawals excluded so that a deposit is never mistaken for performance.
Drawdown
Drawdown measures the decline from the highest balance reached so far to the lowest point that followed. Maximum drawdown is the largest such decline over the whole history; current drawdown is the decline from the all-time peak to the latest balance. Both are expressed as a percentage of the peak.
Profit Factor
Profit Factor is gross profit divided by gross loss, computed only over position-closing deals. Balance operations and open positions are excluded. A profit factor above 1.0 means gross profits exceeded gross losses over the period measured.
Trade counting and win rate
A trade is counted when a position is closed. The win rate is the share of closed trades with a positive net result after commission, swap and fee. This means a trade that was profitable before costs but negative after them counts as a loss, which is the stricter and more honest treatment.
Monthly return
Monthly return is the month's net profit divided by that month's opening balance. Each month is computed independently from the daily aggregates, so the monthly table always reconciles with the daily curve.
What we deliberately do not publish
Open position direction, live entry prices, current position sizes, stop-loss levels and take-profit targets are never published. Publishing them would expose the strategy's decision-making and allow it to be copied without a subscription. Aggregate statistics over closed trades do not reveal this information.
Data coverage and gaps
The coverage panel states the exact date range of imported deals and, separately, from when live equity has been recorded. If an account has history that predates the system, that history is imported as recorded data — we do not synthesise the equity that would have accompanied it.
Results depend on your broker
Published results come from the strategy account and its broker conditions. Your own results will differ: spreads, commission, swap rates, slippage, execution latency and the specific gold symbol your broker offers all affect the outcome. Historical performance is never a promise about the future.
Trading involves substantial risk. Past performance is not indicative of future results. Actual trading outcomes may be affected by market volatility, slippage, spreads, execution speed and your broker’s trading conditions.
