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

Great post. Thanks for sharing it with our community. Looking forward to more content.

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

Hi Muscle_Trader,
It’s really good that you’ve experimented with different settings. That mindset makes a big difference. Your focus on risk control and consistency shows real progress, and in the long run that discipline usually pays off much more than chasing quick gains.

Since you are already trading US Indices, you might want to explore NAS100 as well. There are example settings for NAS100 available on the performance page. Here is one such example of a NAS100 setting – https://store.galileofx.com/pages/performance/settings?name=neon-momentum-nexus

As always, all configurations should be tested in a demo account first and backtesting. This allows you to evaluate results safely before considering live use. Many users in the community also often tweak example configurations by slightly adjusting parameters to better match their own comfort level, the key point is "always in demo mode first".

This is great!!!

Been sticking to US30 so far just to see how steady I can keep it, but NAS100’s been on my radar

Couple things I’m trying to figure out...

1. When you test NAS100 in demo, what’s the 1ST thing you look at to know if the setup’s actually solid or just noise?
2. Do you usually let the example configs run untouched for a bit or do you start tweaking right away??= I can never tell if I should trust the base settings or jump in and adjust.
3. Is NAS100 really that much wilder than US30 day-to-day or does it JUST come down to how you manage the risk settings

Still trying to find the balance between playing it safe and not leaving too much profit on the table!!

Hi Muscle_Trader,

1. When testing instruments like NAS100 in a demo account, many users find it useful to review the MT5 Strategy Tester report after running a backtest. Reports can show metrics such as profit factor or drawdown, which help illustrate how a setup performed historically. Just remember that past results don’t guarantee future outcomes, and performance can vary widely depending on market conditions.
   
   
2. With example configurations, it’s often safest to start by observing how they run in demo mode for a while before making any changes. This way you can get a clear idea of how the software functions without risking funds. Any adjustments to parameters should always be tested in demo first, since markets are constantly changing.
   
   
3. As for instruments, NAS100 generally behaves differently from US30 because of its composition. NAS100 includes many technology-related companies, while US30 is built around more traditional industrial firms. That means volatility and spreads can naturally differ between them, and it’s something to be aware of when you test in demo.
   
   Thanks for asking these questions.
