Back and forward testing EAs aka Trading Robots

If you like automatic algorithmic trading and thoroughly backward and forward testing an EA in the most realistic conditions possible, before investing real capital in a system, then this maybe the thread for you. Would also like this forum to compare free EAs found on FF & elsewhere vs paid EAs in the MT4 & 5 Market places. Realistic conditions: Non-Hedged accounts, EA Demo back/forward testing should be performed only with brokers that are currently allowed to operate in the US following US trading rules, FIFO etc. And the DEMO starting trading account amounts should always be the same as the amount of money you are willing to risk on an actual real live account.
I'm not here to endorse or sell any particular EAs just to evaluate which ones that may be worth investing both more time & money in.

Lets start Forum with a Five Star EA found in Market Place
Portfolio X 10 eurusd MT4 More info about the EA can be found here: https://www.mql5.com/en/blogs/post/739294

Here are a few trades from the beginning of the trading period it took in 2000, as you can see the EA does uses hard stop losses not virtual one.

Here are last transactions in the back test, couldn't post all of them since it covers almost 20 years.

Of course this bot can probably do much better if lot size was gradually increased as the account grew.
Please feel free to post comments and suggestions. Do you know any Free EAs that uses the same strategy or better than Portfolio X 10 Bot?

is it possible to share this bot
