Iron Stops signal at a glance
The three panels from the MQL5 signal page, with the figures the marketplace itself plots. Its drawdown axis is the relative drawdown by balance — the same measure this site computes from the trade history further down. The equity figure, which counts floating losses on positions still open, is a different number and is printed beside it in the specification.

Iron Stops Kept Score
Four measured quarters out of 100. Every input is a figure printed elsewhere on this page, read against a band that is the same for every product on the site.

12 trades, under a month of history. The same arithmetic as every other score, on a record that has not yet reached 30 trades and a month. It settles when it does; until then it sits below every settled score, whatever it says.

Iron Stops results, as published
This listing publishes totals rather than a trade history, so there is no curve to draw. Every figure below is recomputed from those totals.
The margin it works on
75.0% of trades win, and it needs 63.0% to break even.
A win and a loss are close to the same size here, so the strategy does not depend on an unusually high hit rate to stay ahead. The gap between what it needs and what it has done is the margin it has to be wrong in.
What a win is worth against what a loss costs
Drawn to the same scale. The strategy needs to keep winning about 63.0% of the time simply to break even.
Best and worst single trades
The worst loss is 1.6× the average one, so losses stay close together.
Everything won against everything lost
A profit factor of 1.76 — what the account won for each unit it lost.
Trade outcomes
5 wins in a row at best, 1 losses at worst.
Direction taken
Which way the strategy took its positions.
No equity curve. This seller publishes account totals but not a trade-by-trade history, and building a curve out of totals would mean inventing the path between them. When a trade history is available for a product, its curve and drawdown chart appear here instead.

What Iron Stops's record shows
Tracked on a very small account
The record starts from 100 USD, so its 64% growth amounts to 64 USD in total. Percentages compound quickly at this size and the position sizes behind them are not the ones a funded account would trade.
How this was measured
- Opening deposit
- 100 USD
- Net profit
- 64 USD
- Best single trade
- 39.31 USD
Short track record
12 trades over 0.7 months. A record this size is indicative rather than conclusive — a strategy needs to meet a market it dislikes before its drawdown figure means much.

Not checked: martingale position sizing, grid and basket exposure, stop-loss placement, gaps in the record. These need a trade-by-trade history, which this seller does not publish — so treat them as unknown rather than clean.
How Iron Stops trades
Read off the record rather than the sales page: how long it holds, which way it leans, and what market the figures actually describe.
How long it stays in
Positions last 17.0 h on average, which makes this an intraday system whatever the listing calls it. Holding time decides how much the spread costs you and how much overnight risk you are carrying.
Which way it trades
Its 12 trades split 41.7% long to 58.3% short, so the result does not rest on the market having gone one way.
Built around one market
Everything here is XAUUSD. A single-market record says nothing about how it behaves anywhere else, so read every figure below as being about XAUUSD alone.
Where the money came from
The same totals the listing publishes, divided into the numbers that say whether an edge is real and whether it would survive being run on a different account.
Money won against money lost
It won $148 and lost $84, a profit factor of 1.76. For every $1.00 it handed back it took $1.76 in gross profit.
Where the edge comes from
It wins 75.0% of the time, but its average win is only 0.6× its average loss. The edge is frequency, not size — it needs about 63% of trades to win simply to break even.
What one trade is worth
Averaged over 12 trades, each returned $5.33 on an account that opened at $100. That is the figure to multiply by your own trade count — not the headline growth.
Growth, per month
+64.0% total over 1 months compounds to +104.7% a month. The monthly rate is the comparable number: a total says as much about how long an account ran as about how well it traded.
What could go wrong with Iron Stops
Every figure here is already in the record. These are the parts of it a summary table averages away.
Two drawdowns, not one
Drawdown reached 26.7% on equity and 33.4% on closed trades. The two sitting close together is what you want — it means open losses were not being parked out of sight.
The worst single trade
Its worst trade lost $45.44, 1.6× the average loss of $27.93. The account did not grow enough over the record to explain that spread, so the spread is in the losses themselves. Adjusted, the losses cluster rather than fan out, which is the shape a stop produces.
Its longest cold spell
It lost 1 trades in a row at some point. At the average loss that is about $28, or 27.9% of the $100 the account opened with. Assume it happens again, and ask whether you would still be running it on the far side.
Profit against the worst dip
It made 1.4× its deepest drawdown in total profit. Above one means the record has more than covered its own worst stretch.
What Iron Stops needs from your account
Cost and account size, against the drawdown this record already produced.
The account these figures came from
Every figure above comes from one account that opened with $100 at Alpari-MT5. A different size, a different broker or different settings is a different result.
What buyers say
Counted from the reviews MQL5 publishes on the listing. We count the subjects raised and the ratings given; we do not reprint the reviews.
What the marketplace scores it
4.01 out of 5 from 83 reviews on MQL5. That is a rating of the purchase — the seller, the support, the documentation — and only indirectly of the trading.
The rating, split three ways
MQL5 scores it 4.00 on description, 4.00 on reliability and usability, and 4.00 on support. Buyers rate reliability and usability lowest, which is the part the headline number averages away.
What buyers actually write about
Across the 20 most recent reviews, losses and drawdown comes up most often — 11 of them mention it. Losses and drawdown is the subject appearing most in the negative ones.
How the recent ones split
Of the 20 reviews the listing serves, 15 rate it four stars or better and 5 rate it two and a half or worse. This is the most recent page rather than every review ever left, which means it describes the version on sale now.
Who maintains it
How recently it was touched, how long it has been sold, and what the marketplace record says about the seller.
Whether anyone is still working on it
Version 1.18, last updated 28 Aug 2026 — about 3 months ago. A system still being touched is one whose author is still answering for it.
How long it has been on sale
Listed since 14 Aug 2026, about 3 months. A short listing history means the record you are reading has not been through much yet.
Who is behind it
MQL5 gives Fajar Dicky Firmansyah its badges for “Sold more than 100 products”. Those count marketplace volume, not trading results.

Iron Stops: common questions
The four things people search for about this product, answered from the record rather than from the sales page.
Is there a Iron Stops free download?
Yes — a free demo. Iron Stops is sold on the MQL5 Market, and every listing there carries a demo you can download at no cost: the full algorithm, limited to the MetaTrader 5 Strategy Tester. The full version is $29.99 from us, against $349 on the MQL5 Market. MQL5 records 2,861 downloads of it.
What the demo can and cannot do, and how to spot a pirated buildDoes Iron Stops have a live signal?
Yes. Iron Stops publishes a live signal on MQL5 covering 12 trades over about 1 months, verified from the broker's own trade feed. It shows 104.7% a month compounded, a deepest fall of 33.4% and a profit factor of 1.76. Every figure here is recomputed from that record, which the page links.
What a verified record proves, and what a review does notIs there a Iron Stops backtest?
Not one from us, and deliberately: a backtest is run by whoever is selling the product, on settings they choose. Instead this page measures 12 real trades over about 1 months of forward results, which is stronger evidence than any backtest: nobody can re-run it until it looks good.
Why we publish no backtests — and how to run your own in MetaTrader 5Is there a Iron Stops Myfxbook review?
Not that we can verify. Iron Stops is not tracked on Myfxbook, and we will not point at a third-party page we cannot confirm belongs to this product — a name match is not proof. Its verified record is the MQL5 signal this page links.
Why a name match is not proof, and what a marketplace rating measuresIs Iron Stops profitable?
Over 12 trades and about 1 months, the tracked account grew 64.0%, which is 104.7% a month compounded. The deepest it fell on the way was 33.4%. That is one account, on its settings and its broker, over that period.
What pairs does Iron Stops trade?
One symbol: XAUUSD. A record on a single symbol says nothing about how it behaves on another, so treat results elsewhere as untested.
What timeframe does Iron Stops trade?
It holds a position for 17.0 h on average across the published record. That is intraday — positions are generally opened and closed within the day.
Does Iron Stops need a VPS?
It holds for 17.0 h on average, so latency matters less than uptime here. The terminal still has to be running when the strategy wants to act, which is the actual argument for a VPS at any hold time.
What deposit does Iron Stops need?
We do not publish a recommended deposit, because that is the seller's claim to make and ours to check. What the record shows is the account it was tracked on, which opened at $100. The deepest drawdown on that account was 33.4%, so an account too small to sit through the same fall in money terms would have been closed out before the record recovered.
Is Iron Stops safe to run on a live account?
Not in the sense the question usually means. The worst fall on the record was 33.4%. Our checks raised nothing on the record we hold, which is not the same as nothing to raise. Size against that fall, not against the average month.
Does Iron Stops work on MetaTrader 4?
No. This is the MetaTrader 5 build, and a build for one terminal does not run on the other. Any MetaTrader 4 version is a separate listing with its own record, and nothing measured here carries across to it.
