The same deal list, resampled 1,000 times with a recorded seed (20260820). This explores how fragile the backtest record is — it adds no information about the future.
Order shuffle — path risk
The compounded final return does not depend on trade order, so re-ordering isolates one question: how bad could the drawdown have been if the same trades had arrived differently?

Missed trades
Each trade independently skipped with the stated probability — the offline-terminal / rejected-entry question.

Cost stress
Every trade return reduced by a fixed cost — a parameterised slippage-and-spread stress, not a calibrated broker model. The unit is this system’s own median absolute per-trade return (0.12%).
| Cost per trade | Final return | Max drawdown | |
|---|---|---|---|
| 10% of median trade | 0.01% | +502.2% | 36.29% |
| 25% of median trade | 0.03% | +286.4% | 37.15% |
| 50% of median trade | 0.06% | +84.4% | 40.09% |
Per-trade returns are fractions of the balance before each close; drawdowns are measured on trade closes, so intra-trade floating declines are invisible here.
Every simulation resamples the same historical record under stated rules. None of these numbers is a forecast.

This report states drawdown on a balance basis, which counts only closed trades. A position held at a loss does not appear until it is closed, so the real peak-to-trough dip on this account was larger than the figure above.

AHow to access this EA
TYO has not assigned this strategy to an access plan. The research and evidence above are complete regardless; where the strategy is published on MQL5, that remains the way to obtain it.
The account and download layer is not live yet, so nothing is downloadable from this site.
17Disclaimer
Trading foreign exchange, CFDs and cryptocurrency carries a high level of risk and may not be suitable for every investor. You can lose more than your initial deposit. Leverage magnifies both gains and losses.
