Testing Nova RVI Trader on EURUSD — 1H & 5M Presets
This post introduces a new Expert Advisor: Nova RVI Trader
Unlike the previous tests with Force Index, this strategy is built around a multi-threshold momentum approach using three key levels: sell, mid, and buy.
The goal is to detect momentum shifts while also confirming that price recently interacted with a neutral zone before committing to a trade.
How the Strategy Works
The logic is based on three thresholds:
- Buy threshold
- Mid threshold
- Sell threshold
A trade is only triggered when both recent context and current momentum align.
Buy logic:
- One of the previous candles (index 2 or 3) must be below the mid threshold
- The previous candle (index 1) is below the buy level
- The current candle (index 0) closes above the buy level
Sell logic:
- One of the previous candles (index 2 or 3) must be above the mid threshold
- The previous candle (index 1) is above the sell level
- The current candle (index 0) closes below the sell level
This creates a structure where trades are only taken when price transitions from a neutral zone into a directional move.
EURUSD 1H Test Setup
The first configuration focuses on the 1-hour timeframe, where signals tend to be more structured and less affected by short-term noise.
| Setting | Value | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Symbol | EURUSD | Major currency pair |
| Timeframe | 1H | Structured momentum |
| Period | 1 | High responsiveness |
| Mid | 0 | Neutral reference |
| Buy | 0.06 | Upper threshold |
| Sell | -0.06 | Lower threshold |
| Volatility Filter | Strict | Avoids low activity |
| Risk | 2% | Fixed per trade |
| Take Profit | 0.40% | Captures steady moves |
| Stop Loss | 0.80% | Allows fluctuation |
| Direction | Buy & Sell | Both directions |

EURUSD 5M Test Setup
The second configuration applies the same logic to the 5-minute timeframe, where market movements are faster and more frequent.
All threshold values remain the same, allowing for a direct comparison between timeframes.
| Setting | Value | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Symbol | EURUSD | Major currency pair |
| Timeframe | 5M | Fast intraday signals |
| Period | 1 | Maximum responsiveness |
| Mid | 0 | Neutral reference |
| Buy | 0.06 | Upper threshold |
| Sell | -0.06 | Lower threshold |
| Volatility Filter | Strict | Filters low activity |
| Risk | 2% | Fixed per trade |
| Take Profit | 0.40% | Short momentum capture |
| Stop Loss | 0.95% | Handles noise |
| Direction | Buy & Sell | Both directions |
5M Backtest Results:
What Makes This Strategy Different
Unlike simple crossover systems, this approach introduces a context filter using the mid threshold.
Instead of reacting to every signal, the strategy checks whether price recently interacted with a neutral zone before entering a trade.
This helps reduce random signals and focuses on more structured momentum transitions.
Preset Files
Both configurations used in this test are available as preset files.
You can download the EURUSD 1H and EURUSD 5M presets at the end of this post and run your own experiments.
Free Until the End of 2026
Nova RVI Trader is completely free until the end of 2026.
The goal is to allow traders to experiment with different configurations and explore how this multi-threshold momentum approach behaves across markets and timeframes.
