After testing nearly 864 EAs over time, I’ve learned one important lesson: a great backtest doesn’t always mean a great EA.

I’ve tested many different systems, and only 2 EAs are ones I’m genuinely comfortable recommending.

What made these two different?

• Predefined SL & TP
• No Martingale
• No risky Grid strategies
• Proper risk management
• Controlled drawdown
• Balanced risk-to-reward
• Consistent performance in different market conditions
• Realistic backtesting
• Forward and live testing
• Spread & slippage protection
• News filter
• Trading session filter
• Proper lot-size control
• Daily loss protection
• Maximum trade limits
• No unlimited averaging down
• Stable equity curve
• Performance that isn’t based on one lucky period

Over time, I stopped asking, “How much profit did the backtest make?”

Instead, I started asking:

“What happens when the market goes against the EA?”

That’s where most of the 864 EAs I tested failed.

The two I kept weren’t necessarily the ones with the highest returns. They were the ones that gave me the best balance between profitability, consistency, and risk control.
