What do you guys think of my results? Feedback or recommendations?

Been sticking with Galileo on demo this week, running mostly US30 just to test consistency. Attached the screenshot of my trades.

Profit: $631.59
Deposit: $10k
Balance now: $10,507.22

Nothing crazy, but for me the win isn’t the $ amount it’s the fact I didn’t go full degen this time .

A few months ago I would’ve cranked it to max risk, stacked 10 orders,

then cried myself to sleep when it dumped

Now I’m keeping it tighter: Max Orders low, SL at 2%, lot size reasonable.

• Some trades close super quick with tiny profit ($0.35, $7, $28 lol). Feels pointless but I think it’s just the bot managing signals.
• Commission eats a chunk, but better that than massive drawdown.
• Drawdown stayed calm compared to how I used to run it. I could actually sleep without checking my phone every 30 minutes.

So yeah I’m happy with the direction

But I still wonder if I’m leaving profit on the table by being too conservative. Should I bump risk a little once I get more data or just keep compounding slow & steady?

Would love feedback from anyone who’s been running Galileo on indices longer-term.

Stay safe, and don’t do what I did in my first month

Hi,

Great job on keeping your risk under control and focusing on consistency that’s the most important part of trading. Small profits may seem minor, but they add up over time and help protect your account from big losses. It’s better to stay steady and build slowly than to overexpose yourself and risk a big drawdown.

Keep it up you’re on the right track.

Regards,
Mark

Awesome post! Thank you for sharing this!
What I also noticed that commisions can happen like you said but there also might be small swaps and cuts taken from profits for trades that were kept open over the week-end too.This doesn't happen for all brokers but it could be worth checking into as well and a thing to keep in mind
