OilVector X review: costs leave almost no cushion

A concise evidence review. Read the audit.

Verdict: costs decide this result. Costs consumed 72% of gross profit.

What mattersMeasured result
Profit before costs125.64 USD
Commission-95.36 USD
Financing credit4.95 USD
Profit after costs35.23 USD

Most of the gross result disappears

The remaining gain is small compared with the recorded trading activity. The audit counts 1,192 completed trades, so modestly worse execution costs could erase the historical profit.

A small extra charge turns the result negative

The audit places the break-even extra cost at 0.03 USD per trade. Its 0.50 USD sensitivity scenario ends at -560.77 USD. This is a stress scenario rather than a quoted charge, but it shows how little cushion the measured result provides.

The profit arrived on very few days

The audit records 80% of profit in 8 of 978 active trading days. It also finds consistency-rule breaches in 4 years. Both findings make the small positive total a weak basis for expecting steady account growth.

Version 1.83 traded XTIUSD at a fixed 0.01 lot. The result does not establish live performance or show that the same cost profile will apply to another account.

Five comparison files: what the catalog will not compare

On 4 September 2026 our audits folder held 38 files and five of them contained no run of their own. They compare three versions of Quantum Titan, two of Scalping Robot Pro, four presets of Smart Gold Hunter, two input variants of The Gold Reaper, and two products that turned out to be deal identical. The part worth reading is the gate that runs first, five world fields that must agree before a single number is printed, and the note the engine writes when the test windows end on different days.

Held past Friday: what the weekend count on an audit page really counts

Two numbers under every prop firm simulation say what a robot carried into the next day and across a weekend. Lizard shows 0 of 21,524 trades, Gold Atlas 2,188 overnight of which 640 were, on 4 September, counted as spanning weekends. The weekend test then also caught a Monday to Wednesday hold, so a positive count was a ceiling; since 29 September it counts only holds that contain a Saturday or Sunday, and all three profiles we run permit weekend positions so no lamp judges it.
