Forex Fury V6 / CORE 1.4 Backtest: No Edge, Net PF 0.73–0.90 (2026)

The story in one line

Brent’s licensed Forex Fury V6 and CORE 1.4 .set files, run on real Dukascopy M15 data over a 3.4-year out-of-sample window (2023–2026), lose money in every configuration: net profit factor lands in the 0.73–0.90 range against a deployment bar of PF > 1.2. Every monthly mean return is negative (−0.13% to −1.38%/mo) versus the +5–7%/mo the systems advertise.

The decisive result is the zero-cost control: strip all costs, and the gross profit factor pins at ≈1.0 (a coin flip) for every entry proxy. There is no directional edge in the parameters. The grid + money-target machinery simply manufactures a high win rate sitting on a fat-tailed loss distribution — the same no-edge grid+martingale family the prior basket-grid backtest already failed (gross PF 1.01 / net 0.51).

The deployable edge that would justify $5k on Monday is not in the .set files, and there is no sign the unknown encrypted entry trigger supplies one on these pairs and windows.

Headline results — net of realistic costs

Costs: effective spread+commission (EURUSD 0.9 / GBPUSD 1.3 / USDJPY 1.0 pip round-turn), 0.3 pip slippage on stops, 0.5 pip/night swap.

Config (fidelity)	Trades	Win%	PF (net)	Tot ret 3.4y	Max DD
EURUSD M15 default — meanrev (HIGH)	712	50.7%	0.90	−1.2%	1.5%
EURUSD M15 default — momentum (HIGH)	712	48.7%	0.84	−2.1%	2.2%
USDJPY scalp +Stoch (LOW, M1→M15)	518	70.7%	0.88	−5.1%	10.1%
GBPUSD H1 swing, 0.01 lot (HIGH)	288	58.0%	0.83	−5.0%	7.2%
GBPUSD H1 swing, 0.10 native lot (HIGH)	690	89.7%	0.75	−44.2%	50.2%

The 0.10-native GBPUSD row is the martingale tail made visible: 89.7% of baskets win ~$10, but the losers average −$123 and the account bleeds 44% with a 50.2% drawdown — the canonical “smooth curve until it isn’t” grid failure. Per-pair filter tests (all 7 scalping sets at shipped lots) did not restore an edge: the full portfolio loses even with all costs removed (−70%, DD 68%).

The decisive test — zero-cost control

Re-run with all costs set to zero to ask the one question that matters: is there any entry edge before the broker takes its cut?

Config	meanrev gross PF	momentum gross PF
EURUSD M15 default	1.028	0.951
EURUSD [regular] scalp	0.925	1.016
USDJPY scalp +Stoch	0.906	0.906
GBPUSD H1 swing 0.01	0.892	0.939

Best gross PF across everything ≈ 1.0–1.03 — a coin flip. A strategy with a real edge would show gross PF comfortably above 1.1 even through a rough proxy, and the money-target grid would amplify it. It doesn’t. Gross PFs straddle 1.0 (0.52–1.09 across the full set sweep) — the signature of no edge + noise, not a real signal. The conclusion triangulates three ways: net PF below 1.0, zero-cost gross PF at a coin flip, and the prior independent basket-grid failure.

Verdict: FAIL (net PF 0.73–0.90). Do not deploy. Not close. Every licensed configuration loses net of costs, and the zero-cost control proves the deployable edge is not in the parameters — the gross result is a coin flip. This is not “needs more tuning”; it is the same no-edge, grid+martingale family already failed once. Forex Fury V6 / CORE 1.4 is retired.

Frequently asked

Is Forex Fury V6 profitable in 2026?

Not in this independent backtest. Every configuration of the licensed V6 and CORE 1.4 .set files came in below profit factor 1.0 net of realistic costs (range 0.73–0.90), against a deployment bar of PF > 1.2. A zero-cost control run pins gross profit factor at roughly 1.0 — a coin flip — meaning there is no directional edge in the parameters.

Why can the entry edge not be found in the .set files?

The .set files expose the full risk/exit/grid/timing/filter machinery but not the proprietary entry trigger, which lives inside the encrypted .ex5. We tested disclosed entry proxies plus the documented Stochastic rule and ran a zero-cost control to isolate any edge. No proxy reached an edge, and the high-fidelity M15-native default is also a coin flip gross — so there is no sign the unknown trigger supplies a deployable edge on these pairs and windows.
