Ghost Scalper EA
Early results, BlackBull OHLC 1m, likely overfit. 0.01 lot. From 2 Jan 2025 to 5 Oct 2026: 2,607 trades, +$5,613, PF 6.26. Full history 2020–2026: 12,988 trades, +$7,939, PF 2.04. The H2 PF of ≈20 (77% win, $19 max DD) is suspect: it almost certainly reflects the 1-minute OHLC model filling scalps inside one bar plus fitting to 2026 (the EA was released mid-2026). 2021–2024 were roughly flat (2023 lost money). Curve beside every row.
Fees: broker P&L including spread, broker commission removed, then minus $25 per 1.00 lot round trip (1 lot = 100 oz ≈ 1 GC). $35/lot sensitivity column shown. Grey line on each curve = before the fee; red dashed = $35.
Data: BlackBull MT5 demo tester, XAUUSDp, 1-minute OHLC model (not real ticks), 1 Jan 2020–16 Oct 2026, $100k deposit, supplied preset. This run was made before David said not to use BlackBull; no further BlackBull runs.
Data gaps: the GC futures gap list does not apply to this broker CFD history and was not excluded; broker history gaps were not audited. Treat as preliminary.
