Why Mosquito EA

• Gold specialist — designed exclusively for XAUUSD on the H1 timeframe
• Defined risk per trade — configurable risk percentage and lot size inputs, with the active settings visible on the on-chart panel at all times
• Live spread monitoring — the on-chart panel displays current spread alongside risk settings, so the operational context is visible at a glance
• High-impact news event readout — economic events like CPI, FOMC, and central bank announcements are displayed directly on the panel for operational visibility
• Credible backtest profile — 16-month real-tick backtest at 99% history quality, with LR correlation of 0.91 (in the credible range, not the suspiciously-clean 0.99/1.00 territory we flag on other products)
• Public MQL5 live signal — real-money monitoring on IC Markets since launch
• Backtest-to-live consistency — the live signal’s 89% profit-trade rate aligns closely with the backtest’s 87% win rate (healthy behavioural alignment, not just matching headlines)
• 25 consecutive winning trades since launch — a real, observable streak on the developer’s MQL5 signal chart
• Sister product available — Spider Gold EA MT5 from the same developer

25 Consecutive Wins Since Launch

The most striking near-term evidence on Mosquito EA is the 25-consecutive-winning-trades streak the system has produced since going live. The streak is verifiable on the developer’s MQL5 signal chart — these are real trades on a real account, not a backtest artefact. The streak alignment with the backtest’s max-2-consecutive-losses figure suggests the strategy’s defined-risk discipline carries forward into live conditions.

The on-chart panel shown above is the operational interface — current spread (0.8 pips visible in the screenshot), current risk percentage (2.0 default), current lot size (0.01 default), and a live high-impact news event readout listing the upcoming releases the strategy will be aware of. Compact, but covers the operational context that matters.

Live Signal Snapshot

• Live signal: IC Markets SC MT5 at 1:400, real money, ~7 weeks tracked
• Live growth (headline): ~55% — note that this is calculated against the $300 initial deposit; an additional $200 was deposited during the tracking period, so the cleaner read on absolute profit ($207) is against the $500 total deposits
• Live profit trades: 89.2% with 10.8% loss trades — a realistic distribution, not the suspicious 100% live win rate we flag on other products
• Live maximum drawdown: 4.6% (a tight figure on a young sample)
• Max deposit load: 4% (conservative position sizing)
• Trading activity: 2.1% (low frequency — the strategy is selective)
• Backtest period: January 2025 onwards, real-tick data at 99% history quality
• Backtest profile: Profit factor 4.83, win rate 86.81% across 508 trades, equity drawdown 9.09%, balance drawdown 7.45%, LR correlation 0.91, maximum 2 consecutive losses

The genuinely positive read here is the behavioural alignment between live and backtest. The win rates match (89% live vs 87% backtest), the trade pattern matches (low frequency, defined-risk per trade), and the drawdown profile matches the order of magnitude. That kind of consistency suggests the backtest is closer to a forward-looking forecast than a curve-fit artefact — and the LR 0.91 correlation backs this reading.

Risk Disclaimer

Trading XAUUSD on the H1 timeframe involves significant volatility (NFP, CPI, FOMC, geopolitical events). The 16-month real-tick backtest is encouraging evidence — particularly the LR 0.91 correlation, which sits in the credible range and aligns with how the live signal has behaved so far. Live results will still differ from backtest figures due to broker execution differences, real-world spread variation, and edge cases the test didn’t model. The live signal is 7 weeks old at the time of writing, which is encouraging early evidence but not yet a multi-month track record. The realistic live drawdown will likely move closer to the backtest’s 9% equity drawdown over time as the system encounters more difficult market periods. Test on demo on your intended broker first, use conservative position sizing while validating, and never deploy capital you cannot afford to lose. Past performance — backtest or live — does not guarantee future results.
