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

3 real-tick windows · 0 profitable · 0 recorded stop-outs · worst equity drawdown 0%

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

F 32/100

3 tested windows · 0 profitable

  • Capital preservation40.0 / 40
  • Profit factor0.0 / 40
  • Profitable windows0.0 / 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.
