EALegit summary — unaudited listing

Philosopher is a MetaTrader 5 expert advisor for XAUUSD (gold) that combines 22 strategy models covering trend continuation, pullbacks, breakouts, session ranges, VWAP references and tick-volume activity. Entries are selected per strategy with filters and confirmation conditions, while a basket engine manages subsequent exposure using ATR-based recovery spacing and 1.5x progressive position sizing, with a main-basket limit of five positions per directional strategy and optional recovery hedges on hedging accounts. Risk is managed through configurable overall and daily drawdown controls, spread and margin checks, session restrictions, USD news filtering, and sizing profiles rather than fixed per-order stop losses.

Lab results

What happened in EALegit’s tests

Each window started with a fresh deposit. Overlapping windows are not independent evidence. Historical results are not automatically out-of-sample proof.

The seal needs all four gates. A lab score alone never grants it.

Forensic FAQ

Is Philosopher legit?

Backtested in our lab on real ticks — source code not audited, so no verified seal. Lab results show what the EA did in our tests, not that it is legit.

Has EALegit independently reviewed Philosopher?

We ran 3 real-tick backtests — that is a market replay, not a source audit. The code itself is not audited.

Does Philosopher use grid or martingale?

Seller materials mention grid. Not audited — we have not confirmed the code.

Can I trust the seller backtest?

Seller figures stay marketing. Our own real-tick replays are on this page and are compared against any reviewed seller evidence.
