YV Orbit builds MetaTrader 5 Expert Advisors and the tools to test them properly. Every test we run goes on the record below, including the ones that lost money.

The test record

24 entries: 23 tests with results and 1 development update. Every number is copied from a published report image or a YV Orbit trade report. Select any row to see the image, the test conditions it shows, and what it leaves out.

Test Type Trades Win rate Net PF Profit factor bar, line marks 1.00

PF is profit factor: gross profit divided by gross loss. Above 1.00 means the test made money. Browse all 18 report images.

Where the numbers come from

Each entry is copied from one published report image. 6 of the images include the MT5 Strategy Tester results screen itself. The rest are summary graphics made from tester results, account trade logs or a written YV Orbit trade report. The raw tester exports and account statements are not published yet. Images 01 to 15 were redrawn in the YV Orbit style on 30 October 2026, with every number copied unchanged; the originals stay published next to them.

Nothing on this site has been independently audited.

What is checked, and what is missing

Where a report shows gross profit and gross loss, the site recalculates net result and profit factor. 6 entries carry a data note: the image does not add up, contradicts itself, or leaves a detail unconfirmed.

When a report does not show a value, such as spread, commission or test dates, the record says so instead of filling in a default.

What a backtest cannot tell you

A backtest shows how fixed rules behaved on past prices under one broker's data and settings. Live trading adds slippage, changing spreads, requotes and outages. Past results do not predict future ones. A one-day or one-week forward test is too short to judge an EA.

Our EAs on the MQL5 Market

Both passed MQL5 Market validation. One is free so traders can test our work on their own broker. The other is our first paid release. Validation checks that an EA runs without technical errors; it does not test whether the EA is profitable.

Consecutive Candle Reversal

Our first Expert Advisor to pass MQL5 Market validation. It waits for a run of same-direction candles and trades the reversal, with a stop-loss and take-profit on every trade.

Two Frame Momentum Trend

Uses two timeframes: a higher one to set the direction and the chart timeframe to time the entry. Every trade has a stop-loss, and the stop moves to breakeven once the trade reaches 1R.

Tools we built for our own work

Most EA problems are found too late, after hours of backtesting. These tools move the checks earlier and make testing repeatable. None of them is sold or publicly downloadable yet: three are in private use with access given case by case, and four are in development.

Check the rules and code

YV Strategy Audit (in development) and YV EA Audit (in private use).

Test

YV Multi-Timeframe Tester (in private use) and YV Combination Backtester (new, in development).

Judge the results

YV Robustness Scorecard (new, in development) ranks runs as keep, review or reject.

Study another EA

YV Reverse Engine (in private use) and YV Decode My EA (new, in development).

How each EA is built

A result only means something when the rules and test conditions are known. The same four steps apply to every project on the record.

Define

Write down the idea, market, timeframe, entry and exit rules and risk limits before any code.

Build and audit

Code the rules with explicit safeguards, then audit the code and indicators before testing.

Test

Backtest across timeframes and brokers, then forward test on a live chart.

Publish and review

Post the result, good or bad, and decide the next change from the evidence.

Follow the work or get in touch

New tests, EA updates and tool releases are posted on these channels first. Questions about our EAs, the tools or a strategy you want tested are welcome. Access requests for the tools are answered personally; there is no automatic sign-up.
