Again 20:1 risk/reward is insane.
It's bound to be right 98% of the time when it has a risk:reward profile like that.
How does it perform when you set the risk:reward to 1:1?
That's the true test of an EA in my opinion.

Isn't it 5:1? It seems normal TP is 50-60 pips and opening SL is 255 pips. He's just trailing the stoploss when it goes in his trades direction...
Although he has never actually reached the TP🙃

Just set your stop loss to the same as your take profit.
If the system loses under those circumstances then your trade entry logic is flawed and you are just relying on natural market movement and a very large stop loss to bring home a winner. Your EA might well make you some money in the long run but once you get a run of losers it will decimate your account.
I did a couple of posts about risk/reward on my blog last year.

That's the issue, live trading is never the same as backtests. Spreads are often higher ( what time did you generate the backtest ). Brokers mess you about etc.

Okay, not sure if you are aware but MT4 backtests take the spread at the point the backtest was started. So, if your brokers spread widens in say the Asian session this is not accounted for. It's generally not too big a problem on EurUsd as the spread on that pair doesn't tend to widen too much but it's something to be aware of.

I think it's very risky to bet 10% of you equity on a single trade (if you have set the starting SL to 50 pips like your TP) and 50 % (with 250 pips SL) is gambling on black or red on the roulette...
In my opinion, you should risk 2% at the most, I know you will profit less, but at least it safe!

Have you considered using smaller lotsizes?
That open GBPUSD does take a lot of Equity - 'better to be safe than sorry' 😄
Even though it brings in smaller profits too.

P.S. Bringing in 20%-30% a month is super, no need for a massive 200%

i thought about to have only 0.1 % risk of the account, with this setting i will start a new deport with more optimated ea, but thanks for comment, it´s a high risk ea. I agree, 20% - 30% a good each month

Your most accurate EA so far?
I hope you start up a new one with a lot less risk...
