Strategy Tester report: Dawnbreak

Strategy Tester · 2026-01-01 to 2026-09-07 · $25,000 account.

The two ways this differs from a live account
  • No commission is charged. The tester books the spread but not the broker’s per-lot fee, so a live account of this size keeps less than the net below. The Costs row says what this run’s own broker would have charged.
  • Fills are modelled. The tester decides the price an order would have been filled at; a live account is filled by a broker, at a price that can be worse — and around news, much worse.

This is a simulation over past prices. Nothing on this page is live trading, and no figure on it comes from an account of ours.

Equity curve

Strategy Tester · 2026-01-01 to 2026-09-07 · $25,000 account.

The figures

Net return

+50.1% · $12,518.94

What the account ended with against what it started with. The money beside it is the same thing in dollars.

Profit factor

1.13

Gross profit divided by gross loss. Above 1 means the winning trades brought in more than the losing ones took out.

Sharpe ratio

3.36

Return measured against how much it moved around on the way. The tester computes this per trade, not per year, so read it against the other runs here rather than against a fund’s.

Recovery factor

2.4

Net profit divided by the deepest drawdown: how many times over the run earned back its own worst moment.

Max equity drawdown

17.9%

The furthest the account fell from a high point, measured on equity — open positions counted, not only closed ones. This is the number to size an account against.

Trades

556

How many trades the run closed. The same percentage from sixty trades and from six hundred are not the same evidence.

Winning trades

39.4%

The share of those trades that closed in profit. On its own it says nothing about size: many small wins can still lose to one large loss.
