Results simulated on historical IC Markets XAUUSD data, with $100,000 in starting capital and drawdown expressed as a percentage of that capital. Costs are not counted the same way in every backtest: each page gives the details. These figures do not guarantee future results; trading involves a risk of capital loss.

Frequently asked questions
Before you choose
your strategy
Which strategy should I choose?
FloEdge S/R if you want short trades on the 1-minute chart, with a fixed stop loss and target. FloEdge FVG/iFVG if you prefer the 5-minute chart, entries on fair value gaps, and position sizing based on your capital. FloEdge VWAP if you prefer 1 to 2 trades a day on the 3-minute chart, trading pullbacks to the VWAP in the direction of the day’s trend. FloEdge Scalp if you want to scalp the 1-minute chart, with up to 3 trades a day on VWAP band levels and RSI extremes. Each strategy’s page breaks down its backtest to help you decide.
Which chart should I use the strategies on?
On the IC Markets XAUUSD, in each strategy’s own timeframe: that is the data they are tuned and tested on. In TradingView’s Symbol Search, type XAUUSD and choose IC Markets. On another broker’s XAUUSD, prices differ slightly and results may differ from those published on this site.
Can I use more than one?
Yes. They are separate scripts that can all be enabled on the same TradingView account, and they are all included in the subscription.
Is there a free trial?
No. Since October 27, 2026, flotrade.fr no longer offers the 48-hour free trial. Each strategy’s backtest results remain published on its page.
Do I need a paid TradingView plan?
No, a free TradingView account is enough to use the strategies. Only the 12-month Deep Backtesting run depends on your TradingView plan.
