EALegit summary — unaudited listing
Iron Stops is a MetaTrader expert advisor that trades XAUUSD on the M30 timeframe, operating from a single chart. It enters on volume acceleration signals associated with potential breakouts and closes positions within 36 hours. Lot size is calculated automatically from account balance and stop-loss distance, with optional manual or fixed lots, and trading halts if floating drawdown exceeds a set threshold. No grid or martingale behavior is described.
Lab results
What happened in EALegit’s tests
4 real-tick windows · 4 profitable · 0 recorded stop-outs · worst equity drawdown 5.8%
Each window started with a fresh deposit. Overlapping windows are not independent evidence. Historical results are not automatically out-of-sample proof.
Seller evidence vs lab result
No usable seller backtest on file. The seller listing does not publish a testable baseline (dates, settings and metrics together), so reproduction is blocked — not failed. Lab results above stand on their own.
Seller evidence is transcribed from dated sources and reviewed before publication. It never changes the performance score or the audit verdict.

Performance score methodology
B+ 78/100
4 tested windows · 4 profitable
- Capital preservation38.2 / 40
- Profit factor40.0 / 40
- Profitable windows20.0 / 20
Lab score = round(window performance × 80% + source trust × 20%). Window performance (replay-v3): 40% capital preservation (1 − equity drawdown/100, floored at 0), 40% profit factor (PF − 1, capped at 1), 20% profitable-window share. Equal weight per tested window. Source trust is the owner-source checklist (pass 100, warning 50). No passing checklist leaves that term at 0, so backtests cap at 80. Seller evidence never changes this score. Not the Verified seal and not a probability of future profit.
