I tested the same XAUUSD breakout strategy using four different reference timeframes: M3, M5, M15, and M30.


The strategy uses a daily 01:00 reference-candle breakout, with the same core rules across all four tests.


📊 Backtest Highlights:


M3: $993.69 net profitM5: $619.35 net profitM15: $531.94 net profitM30: $977.47 net profitThe results show how changing the reference timeframe can affect performance, even when the core strategy rules remain the same.


Which timeframe would you choose for further testing, and why?


These are historical demo backtest results, not a guarantee of future performance.
