Reverse-Engineering a Public 1:20 RR Strategy: Chart Fanatics & TG Capital

Let’s get real: I decided to take a setup that someone else shared—specifically, the 1:20 risk-reward trading logic from Chart Fanatics’ YouTube channel —and use it as a test case to see if those strategies hold up!

I’m just the experimenter here, not the inventor — this is about technical curiosity and transparency.

Performance & Backtest Insights (2025)

Pair & Platform: EURUSD, M30, Metatrader 5 (real ticks, 100% quality)
Initial Balance: $10000
Tick Providers: Exness Zero Account (zero spread), The5ers—both showed profitability
Win Rate: Approximately 20% (lots of big winners, and I’m working to improve signal accuracy so they don’t get lost)
Backtests: All trades generated by the EA follow the source logic—no curve-fitting, just raw setups cloned from the actual video. This was profitable in Out-of sample testing for 2023-24.

Profitable Trades (Sample) ( I used AI to summarize from report, maybe some errors exist)

Winning Trades extracted by AI from Excel report, errors might exist here. Will share full Excel File soon!

Results are posted for transparency—final tables and details will go up on my profile soon.

Backtest result of the trident strategy -- I know, still needs work on the horrible win rate - but hey, we got them beefy tps!

Important Disclosures

My experiment is not an endorsement, but an effort to see if public strategies can be coded and realistically traded.

How the EA Was Built

This was a true reverse-engineering endeavor. Key decisions included:

Picking session times & EMA stacking logic for trend confirmation
Making doji and confirmation checks configurable, not rigid
Adjusting risk controls and stop mechanisms to match the source setups
Debugging signal issues and logging every step to ensure nothing was missed
