Scraper Gold [MQLume] 3.7: +596,331.76% | XAUUSD · 12-month backtest
Scraper Gold [MQLume] 3.7 recorded a cumulative net return of 596,331.76% in this XAUUSD historical test, with 28.09% maximum relative equity drawdown. Starting capital was USD 5,000 and the recorded ending balance was USD 29,821,588.06.
The report shows $329,700 maximal equity drawdown at 1.49%, and a separate maximum relative equity drawdown of 28.09% at $3,128.84. These are different drawdown episodes. The 596,331.76% cumulative return should be interpreted alongside the scale of simulated positions. The four core balance-reference values were all 200. They were adjusted together, with the remaining core and protection configuration retained. Actual volume expanded as the simulated balance grew. Peak aggregate open volume reached 500 lots. This historical simulation does not establish market capacity or live fills at that size. Tester news coverage cannot be inferred merely from the filter switch.

The balance chart follows cash flows from executed trades after costs. It is not a continuous equity curve. Relative equity drawdown separately includes floating profit and loss, and is different from the percentage attached to the largest monetary drawdown.
Monthly results
All calendar months are shown, including negative and zero months. The first and last months are partial. Positive monthly closed cash flow does not mean there were no floating losses during that month.

Automatic sizing
These are the selected sizing inputs. Selection used a limited set of candidates on this same interval, not an independent unseen period or an exhaustive optimisation. A risk-level or balance-step input is not an account loss limit. Individual fills and combined open exposure are different quantities; increasing an input need not scale profit and drawdown proportionally.

Reading this test
These figures describe the recorded configuration and interval. Broker conditions, costs and another period can change the result. Historical drawdown is not a future loss ceiling. This review is produced by MQLume, the seller, and is not a verified live-account record or a forecast. Trading involves risk, including loss of capital.
