Hey traders! Today, let’s dive into the MACD Sample 1010, a trading tool that’s proving to be quite the asset for those of us using MetaTrader 4 (MT4). If you’re looking for insights into how this Expert Advisor (EA) performs, you’ve come to the right place!
This EA has a straightforward win/loss ratio: when it wins, it can gain about 100 pips, but when it loses, it typically caps the loss at around 50 pips. That’s a solid risk-to-reward ratio, if you ask me! Plus, it keeps the drawdown below 20%, making it a reliable option for trading GBPUSD.
Now, I should mention that during the initial run on GBPJPY, this EA faced four consecutive losses, racking up a total of $6,000 in drawdowns. This is what caused the larger drawdown, but don't worry! It quickly recovered and started turning a profit, which is what we all want to see.
Remember: This EA doesn’t need to hit massive targets to end up in profit. A modest 30% gain in a trading period is enough to keep you ahead!
