Head to head
CepheusvsSquid Grid AI MT5
Both sets of figures are computed the same way from each product's own record. The measures that can be read against each other — the unit-free ratios — are scored. The ones that depend on how big the account was or how long it ran are shown underneath, unscored, because putting a winner on them would be comparing two different questions.
Squid Grid AI MT5 leads on 3 of the 5 measures that can be scored.
A count of rows, not a recommendation. Which of these measures matters is a question about the account it would run on.

Why these two are not quite like-for-like
- One record is 13× longer than the other — Squid Grid AI MT5 has had more time to meet a market it dislikes, which cuts both ways when reading its drawdown.
- The tracked accounts are 10× apart in size. Percentage growth compounds much faster on a small balance, so the growth figures are not the like-for-like they look.
- The accounts are denominated differently (CAD and USD), so every currency amount below is in its own unit. The ratios are unaffected.
- Both cover XAUUSD, but Squid Grid AI MT5 also trades EURUSD, USDCAD, EURJPY. Its figures are a blend across those instruments rather than a result on XAUUSD alone.
