GTS Gold M30 EA Portfolio – Live Demo Testing Development Log
I'm excited to share the ongoing development and live testing of my newly built GTS Gold M30 EA Portfolio, currently running on a demo account. The portfolio is now in the real-time market testing phase, and I plan to share consistent updates on performance, strategy insights, and lessons learned – with full transparency.
Objective:
To test the robustness of a diversified EA portfolio running on the Gold (XAU/USD) M30 chart across varying market conditions. If the portfolio maintains consistent profitability for at least 1 full month, it will be deployed on a live account.
Portfolio Snapshot (~ 1 day)
Starting Balance: $1,000
Current Balance: $1,287
Unrealized PnL: +$3
Leverage: 1:500
Risk per EA: 0.01–0.03 lots
Total EAs Running: 6
Pairs Traded: Only XAU/USD
Performance Stats: 
Important Backstory:
I previously attempted a similar portfolio strategy on the Gold M5 timeframe. Unfortunately, it was a complete failure.
Why?
Because lower timeframes (M1/M5) create far too much noise, which made it nearly impossible to filter out false signals. Even with solid risk management, drawdowns were erratic, and maintaining consistent profitability was a nightmare. That experience taught me two critical lessons:
