Description
Overview & Strategy Concept
In this analysis, I am backtesting a Single EMA Crossover Strategy combined with the Supertrend V1.0 indicator on the XAUUSD (Gold) daily chart. The goal of this setup is to catch strong trend movements early while maintaining tight risk parameters.

Key Backtest Performance Metrics

Total PnL: +$2,333.76 (+2.33% return on capital)

Profit Factor: 1.876

Max Drawdown: $502.24 (0.50%)

Win Rate: 24.69% (20 winning trades / 81 total trades)

Average Profit vs. Loss: Average Win is +5.13% vs. Average Loss of -1.95%

Expected Payoff: $26.59 per trade

Analysis & Takeaways

Asymmetric Risk-to-Reward: Even though the win rate is around ~25%, the strategy maintains strong profitability (1.876 Profit Factor) because winning trades significantly outperform losing trades (greater than 2.5:1 payout ratio).

Low Drawdown: With a peak drawdown of only 0.50%, the capital allocation risk remains low, making it a sustainable base for trend-following strategies on Gold.

What's Next: The system is currently in a active BUY / Long position. As long as price holds above the trend support level, the expectation remains bullish toward key upper resistance levels.
