[November 2, 2026 Issue] This Week’s Featured Articles Summary

If an EA wins 90% of the time, how much do you lose on one loss? Read results with the “breakeven win rate”

Win rate alone doesn’t tell you if an account will grow. Using average win and average loss, this first installment explains the “breakeven win rate” as a yardstick in a quiz format with three fictional EAs.

Backtest results change with how you compute them. Why and how I reconciled my tests with MT5’s tester trade by trade

I disclose the steps I used to match my custom test program with the MT5 tester trade by trade. Using an example where just the treatment of Monday gap-close prices doubles P/L, I emphasize verifying where the numbers come from.

For those who can’t keep up with trade reviews | How to see Win Rate, PF, and Expectancy on MT4 charts

We organize the three key review metrics—win rate, PF, and expectancy—and show how to aggregate and check performance right on MT4 charts. A practical guide for those who want to cut down on the hassle of looking back at records.

[Financial AI Research] Where do you start on Monday? The sequence to link five saved-file matches to live account verification

A research log on an AI agent EA. Treating saved-file matching and verification of the live-running version, settings, and trades as separate steps, I lay out the sequence to chase one candidate through to the end.

Five checks before fully automating arrow signals: repainting, closed-bar confirmation, duplicate orders, news events, losing streaks

Once fully automated, orders you used to stop manually can run unchecked. I summarize procedures to count and verify five points—repainting, closed-bar confirmation, duplicate orders, news events, and losing streaks—on a demo account.

It doesn’t end at entry. EA exit design and position management

Explains commonly used mechanisms in EA position management, such as partial exits, break-even locks, trailing, and Friday close. We outline pros and cons and propose a mindset that focuses on exit design.

The difference between FX indicators and automated trading

Even if an arrow appears, it doesn’t necessarily place an order. Separating “display, decision, and order,” we organize three manual points to confirm before using a tool, explained in beginner-friendly terms.

KGS, with 300 copies sold, is finally an EA. Sales start next week [For KGS indicator buyers only]

An EA version is coming that links signals from the Gold signal tool “KGS” to automated orders. We introduce in-development features such as switching between “signals only” and “auto-order,” skip conditions, and loss caps.

[Super Beginner] Why can’t you win on Gold (XAUUSD) 1-minute charts? The three true reasons you keep losing

From three reasons—large-player noise, stop hunts, and latency versus HFT—we explain why wins don’t persist with Gold 1-minute scalping. We also show improvements by moving up to the 15-minute or 1-hour timeframe.

Figure-ground principle: Why people who view everything at equal intensity on Gold 1-minute charts let entries and warnings get buried in the background

Using the psychology of figure and ground, we point out that on charts where information is displayed at equal intensity, key markers and warnings get buried in the background. We introduce a way to limit what you watch to three items and add contrast to the screen.

If you don’t understand high-price zones and low-price zones, it’s time to go back to square one.

“High-price/low-price zones” that indicate location are different from the wave shapes of “highs/lows.” For those who judge “it’s a high zone, so sell,” we organize Dow Theory basics to judge by waves (continued in a paid video).

A procedure for stepping away while waiting: Write one line of conditions for return, then close the screen

Entering just before the area you planned to wait for isn’t a lack of patience; it’s that your standard drops as you keep watching. We present a concrete waiting method: write one line on where price should return to and what to confirm, then step away.
