drawdown

My grid EA turned $100k into $130k on demo in five weeks. Then I parsed all 3,456 trades — and the log contradicted what I believed about deep baskets, time-stops, and a change I’d already shipped. Where I was wrong.

I ran seven versions of my own Keltner Channel gold EA side by side for three weeks. Six lost money, one made $199 — and the failures taught me more than the winner. The honest scoreboard.

One of my losing trades lasted two seconds and cost $7.60 — the biggest loss in the account. It wasn’t bad luck; it was a bug in one line of code. Here’s the full autopsy of 407 trades.

My BTC ATM Machine grid EA earns steadily on demo after 3 months of work — and I show the real floating drawdown behind every profit. Honest grid trading.

This one is different from my usual daily log. Instead of a fresh result, I built TrendLab Fusion v1.1 by going back through 10,328 real closed trades from two of my grid EAs — including the exact ladders that blew an account — to find out precisely what worked, what killed the accounts, and how […]

Today I’m showing you my own EA — Passive Income Trend — live on demo, and I’m showing it to you while it’s sitting in an open drawdown right now. The account is up from $1,000 to $2,377, but I’m not going to hide the −$92 of open positions currently in the red. That real-time […]

Today’s EA is GridFollower51 — and it’s the one I’m most quietly optimistic about, precisely because it’s the first in a long time with a sane risk profile. One month on demo: +17% with only 8% drawdown. But I’m not going to show you the win without showing you the pile of failures it came […]
