Limitations
Two years of history is a short test. The settings were chosen on 2024-09-01 to 2025-09-01 and checked on 2025-09-01 to 2026-09-01, which the EA had no part in selecting; that second year made +446.47 across 47 trades. It is tuned to USDJPY on H2 and should not be assumed to transfer to other markets or timeframes without testing. Past results do not predict future results.
How it works
fade a close outside the Bollinger band when momentum is spent
Tested on USDJPY H2, 2024-09-01 to 2026-09-01, on a 10,000 account risking 1% per
trade with real spread. 101 closed trades, profit factor 1.29, maximum
drawdown 7.19%.
The second half of that window was never used to choose the settings. It made
+446.47 on its own across 47 trades, which is the only part of the
result worth much.
## Install
1. Open MetaTrader 5 and choose File > Open Data Folder.
2. Copy `ea.ex5` into `MQL5\Experts` and rename it if you like.
3. Copy the `.set` file into `MQL5\Presets`.
4. Restart MetaTrader 5, or right-click Expert Advisors in the Navigator and
choose Refresh.
5. Open a USDJPY chart on H2, drag the EA on, and load the `.set` file from
the Inputs tab.
6. Enable Algo Trading.
## What it does and does not do
No martingale. No grid. It never adds to a losing position, holds one position
at a time, and every trade carries a real stop loss.
It was tuned on one year and checked on the next. Two years is a short test and
a backtest is not a promise - run it on a demo account before it sees real
money.
