Update to Previous AnalysisÂ
In December 2024, I discussed patterns in gold trading Expert Advisors, including CyNera, AiGen and Goldenjet Fighter highlighting specific risk patterns and
concerns. Today’s performance metrics not only validate those warnings but also illustrate a broader pattern in the EA market that traders should understand. You can chek out these blogs posts hereÂ

What we’re seeing with CyNera is part of a recurring pattern in the EA market:
- New EAs emerge with impressive backtest results
- Initial live trading shows promising performance
- Performance eventually deteriorates significantly
- The EA fades from popularity
- New EAs emerge to restart the cycle
February 2025 CyNera Performance Metrics
- Maximum Drawdown: 80.5%
- Floating Loss: -1,305.16 USD
- Initial Deposit: 300.00 USD
- Current Equity: 342.27 USD
Important Note: These losses are currently unrealized as they come from open positions. The final outcome of these trades remains to be seen and could potentially recover or deteriorate further. BUT THIS %80 DD WILL STAY IN THAT SIGNALS PERFORMANCE FOREVER IF NOT SEES HIGHER DD.
WHAT IS NEXT , WHAT CAN WE DO ? Risk Management Solutions
Given these patterns, traders have two primary approaches to testing NEW EAs with Perfect Bactest Results:
OPTION 1: USE THESE HOLY GRAIL EAS IN GUARANTEED FUNDED CHALLENGES

The safest approach to testing promising but unproven EAs is through guaranteed funded accounts:
- Risk is limited to the challenge fee rather than large personal capital
- Successful trading provides access to larger capital
- Potential for significant returns without risking personal funds
- Quick challenge completion possible using Smart Funded HFT and Easy Funded MT5 EAs
- Ideal for testing systems like CyNera with larger capital but controlled risk
OPTION 2: Personal Account Trading
If trading with personal capital:
- Use extremely small, fixed lot sizes
- Limit the number of simultaneous trades
- Start with demo accounts for initial testing
- Be prepared for potential significant drawdowns
- Monitor performance metrics closely
Key Lessons from CyNera’s Performance
- Backtest Limitations: Perfect backtest results don’t guarantee live trading success
- Risk Reality: An 80.5% drawdown demonstrates why capital protection is crucial
- Pattern Recognition: Similar patterns appear across many high-performing EAs
- Solution Importance: Having a structured approach to testing new EAs is essential
Moving Forward: A Balanced Approach
Instead of avoiding promising EAs entirely, consider testing them through guaranteed funded accounts:
- Pass funding challenges efficiently using dedicated challenge-passing EAs
- Test new trading systems with firm capital
- Protect personal capital while maintaining profit potential
- Create multiple income streams through various funded accounts
Conclusion
CyNera’s current performance serves as a valuable case study in EA trading risks and opportunities. While such systems can show impressive initial results, having the right testing framework is crucial. Whether through guaranteed funded accounts or careful personal account management, proper risk control remains paramount.
Remember: The goal isn’t to avoid promising systems entirely, but to test them in ways that protect capital while maintaining profit potential. Guaranteed funded accounts provide an optimal balance of opportunity and risk management for testing new EAs.
