Multi Step 2 Index
MACX EA · M30 · 1 January–25 September 2026
A detailed view of performance, trade activity and the supplied B+ assessment.
This is a historical MT5 simulation, not live trading or an independent performance certification. The supplied assessment recognises the profitable result while highlighting open-position exposure and the need for broader testing. Trading can lose money; this result does not guarantee future performance.
Closed balance over time
Monthly net result
Understanding balance and equity
Closed balance drawdown: 0%
All 392 closed trades finished profitably in this test. Balance records completed outcomes; it does not include the changing value of open positions.
Equity drawdown: 14.12%
The tester reports a maximum equity drawdown of $662.08 (14.12%). Equity includes open trades. This is why a smooth closed-balance chart can still involve meaningful floating exposure.
The $662.08 amount is also 22.07% of the initial $3,000 deposit. That comparison uses a different baseline from the tester’s reported 14.12% drawdown. The workbook supplies a balance series, so no equity curve has been reconstructed.
Monthly results
Results are assigned to the closing month using the tester’s timestamps. Net result includes swap; commission in this report is $0.
| Month | Closed trades | Deal profit | Swap | Net result | Closing balance |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Jan | 8 | $44.32 | $0.00 | $44.32 | $3,044.32 |

| Total / final | 392 | $2,205.64 | −$32.12 | $2,173.52 | $5,173.52 |
The test period ends on 25 September; the last recorded closed trade is on 22 August. September has no closed trades in the supplied history.
Assessment & grades
B+OverallGrades below are reproduced from the supplied performance assessment. Explanations make the scope of each grade clear; they are not a forecast or an independent rating.
| Area | Grade | Result | How to read it |
|---|---|---|---|
| Profitability | A+ | +$2,173.52 · +72.45% | Net result relative to the $3,000 starting balance. |
| Closed-trade consistency | A+* | 392 profitable closed trades | Four orders per basket share an entry decision. The closed-trade record does not measure floating equity exposure. |
| Recovery factor | A | 3.28 | Net profit divided by maximum equity drawdown in dollars. |
| Sharpe ratio | A* | 5.31 | Tester-reported ratio; the assessment notes that basket holding influences this measure. |
| Equity drawdown | B | 14.12% · $662.08 | Maximum reported equity drawdown includes changes while positions are open. |
| Effective independent entries | B | Approximately 98 baskets | 392 closed trades are grouped into 98 four-order closing baskets in the supplied deal history. |
| Backtest data quality | A | 100% history quality | The tester's history-quality field describes this data set, rather than live execution quality. |
| Robustness evidence | C+ | One symbol · under nine months | Broader periods, additional symbols and out-of-sample runs are the next validation steps. |
| Risk protection | C+ | Fixed SL / TP set to 0 | This run uses basket management without fixed per-trade stop-loss or take-profit levels; open-position exposure still matters. |
* The assessment qualifies the consistency and Sharpe grades because basket holding can affect these measures. A 100% closed-trade win rate does not imply zero account risk.

What this test helps us understand
The report documents a profitable run on one synthetic instrument over the stated period. The next validation steps are longer samples, out-of-sample periods, other market conditions and execution checks covering spread, slippage and financing. Different leverage and equity-management settings also deserve separate tests.
Live execution and a customer’s keep-or-close decisions can produce different results. MACX EA may open a qualifying trade before you review it. Review promptly; sizing, the final decision and account risk remain yours.
Sources & calculation notes
Performance metrics and grades: MACX EA Backtesting Performance Assessment Report, supplied as MACX_EA_Backtesting_Performance_Report.docx. Deal history: ReportTester-20241197.xlsx, Sheet1, summary rows 32–52 and deals rows 863–1648.
The chart uses the initial deposit and closing balances from the deal history, grouped by closing timestamp. Monthly totals reconcile $2,205.64 of deal profit and −$32.12 of swap to $2,173.52 net. Return is net profit ÷ initial deposit × 100. Money is aggregated in cents before display rounding. The assessment and workbook describe the same test, rather than two independent tests.
