What it did

9 closed trades, ending at $9,023 from a $10,000 start, with a 17.8% drawdown along the way. A small loss spread over a long sample is the ordinary way a weak EA fails: it is not a crash, it is a slow transfer of the account to the spread and the broker.

How this test was run

EURUSD H1 · Feb 2024 - Oct 2026 (32 months) · spread 17 points (1.7 pip), measured on the live feed · Open prices only · $10,000 start · 0.01 lot step · MT4 build 1492, local machine. Same harness for all 372 files, and the raw row for this one is in the public CSV. Conditions matter more than the verdict: an EA that fails here can still work on another pair, another timeframe or a broker with tighter spreads.
