Hey guys! This is my 2nd day on the course, installed the EAs a few hours ago. No trades started yet but I’m backtesting the EAs for the entire year of 2024, broken down per month. Here are the results.
It was done in Strategy Tester within MetaTrader5 on Mac. Went through the strategies one by one and month by month. Do these results seem reasonable? Performance seem pretty disappointing to me tbh.Just wanted to say I ran into the same problem and agree the input settings are confusing. I’m not saying I know the right answer but here’s how I did it:
1. I put SL and TP on both places.
2. I went into the code to see which MACD is being used on which timeframe. Seems like MACD 1 (according to your picture) is used on M30 and MACD 2 is used on H1.
“Which broker did you choose for your trading? Is it legit?”

Yes, 100k DarwinexZero account“Did you download the Expert Advisors and unzip them?”
Yep.“When placing the Expert Advisors in the Demo account, did you see the smiley face?”
I’m on Mac, so they don’t show up as smiley faces“Do you see trades opening and closing? What are the first results?”
Not yet, only been a few hours. Instead I have been focusing on doing backtest for each strategy for every month for the entire 2024. Results below:
Settings for each EA updated to the newest settings according to the course. Do these results seem reasonable? It’s a farcry from 5% a month though (supposedly very realistic according to Petko in one of the recent videos on Youtube channel). Backtest is done with Strategy Tester within Metatrader 5 for Mac. Not sure if I did everything correct or whether there’s an easier way, but I basically brute forced it by selecting Jan 1 to Jan 31 2024 for the first strategy, then manually typed in the results in an Excel, then went on with Feb etc, then repeat for each strategy.All feedback are welcome.
