Assumptions (Conservative)
- Starting capital: $10,000
- EA: TheXauBot Standard
- Risk per trade: 0.75% (slightly conservative for larger accounts)
- Compounding: Monthly (reinvesting profits)
- Costs: $20/month VPS + commissions already factored in EA results
Scenario 1: Best Case
Market conditions similar to best backtest period. 15% average monthly gain.
| Month | Balance | Monthly Gain |
|---|---|---|
| 3 | $15,209 | +52% |
| 6 | $23,135 | +131% |
| 12 | $53,503 | +435% |
Scenario 2: Realistic Case
Average months of 8–10% gain, a couple of flat/negative months, typical market conditions.
| Month | Balance | Total Gain |
|---|---|---|
| 3 | $12,597 | +26% |
| 6 | $15,869 | +59% |
| 12 | $25,182 | +152% |
Scenario 3: Worst Case
Several poor months, high-volatility news events, maximum observed drawdown periods — but risk management holds.
| Month | Balance | Total Gain |
|---|---|---|
| 3 | $10,200 | +2% |
| 6 | $11,800 | +18% |
| 12 | $15,300 | +53% |
Key Takeaway
Even in the worst case scenario with conservative 0.75% risk, $10,000 grows to $15,300 in 12 months (+53%) without any skill required beyond setup. The realistic case delivers +152%. This is why properly-configured EA trading with strong risk management is compelling for patient, long-term investors.
