What makes this EA different?
Super Trend combines two embedded models with balance-based sizing, configurable position spacing, partial closes and trailing stops. The visual SuperTrend overlay helps you inspect the chart while the source gives you control over the implementation.
Complete editable source makes the implementation available for your own study and customisation. You can work beyond a settings panel: inspect a calculation, draft a new filter with an AI coding assistant, and compare the modified version with an untouched baseline.
The exact test setup
| Broker feed | IC Markets |
|---|---|
| Symbol / chart | XAUUSD / H1 |
| Initial capital / leverage | US$1,000 / 1:1000 |
| Model / delay | Real ticks / 150ms |
| Automatic sizing | 0.01 lot per US$800 balance |
| Report trades | 1386 |
| Profit factor | 2.23 |
Selected inputs: UseAutoLot=true; LotPerStep=0.01; BalancePerLot=800. Other strategy inputs keep their delivered defaults. Report trade counts include partial exits where used; they are not a count of independent entry signals.
Balance after costs
Automatic sizing compounds changes in balance. The resulting cash gains and losses do not stay constant through the year. Maximum equity drawdown comes from MT5's percentage-equity field; a balance chart cannot replace that metric.

Reading the result responsibly
This is one broker feed and one historical interval, selected after automatic-sizing calibration. It is not a live track record or an independent forward test. Historical drawdown below 30% is not a future loss limit. Reproduce the settings and test on a demo account before considering live use. Past and simulated performance does not guarantee future returns.
