CryonX EA MT5 review: $0.84 of cost headroom per trade

CryonX earned +$3,456.01 across 4,127 trades in the gold backtest. An extra $1.00 per trade turns that result into a -$670.99 loss.

Version 1.3, hourly gold candles. Originally published 2026-08-27.

Updated 2026-09-06: clarified account-size risk and removed unsupported safety and reproducibility claims.

How much extra cost the profit can absorb

The recorded trade size stayed fixed at 0.01 lots, with at most one position open. The audit stores a break-even allowance of $0.84 per trade for additional costs.

Additional cost applied to every trade
Extra cost per tradeNet result
$0.50+$1,392.51
$1.00-$670.99
$2.00-$4,797.99

These scenarios add to the costs already included in the result. They show the available margin for worse execution, without predicting what a particular broker will charge.

A small account still carries substantial risk

At the same trade sizes, the daily balance model shows a maximum drawdown of 36.93% on $500. The observed path also crosses the stored prop-account loss limits at that balance.

The stored prop-fit verdict is red because the best day's share of annual profit breaches the modeled consistency limit in 3 calendar years. This annual proxy does not determine actual payout eligibility.

The dated slice after the last recorded update contains 173 trades and loses $59.52. Its date alone cannot establish that the developer had never used that history.

The small-account model holds trade sizes constant and omits margin requirements, so it can understate risk.

Quantum Titan review: three audited versions, a short record

Quantum Titan appeared on 2026-08-07 at 1,199.99 USD and shipped two updates by 21 August. We audited those three versions (2.1, 2.2 and 3.0) on the same 23 years of gold ticks; the vendor has shipped two more builds since and sells 3.2, which is not audited. The review reads the audited result, its late start in the available history and the failed order attempts.
