Most Expert Advisors trade one market with one idea. That works until the market changes character, and then the whole account depends on a single method going through a bad stretch.
VELTIS Keystone takes a different route. It combines seven independent engines on six markets in one Expert Advisor for MetaTrader 5: two on WTI crude oil, one on gold, one on bitcoin and three on currency pairs. The name comes from architecture. A keystone is the top stone of an arch, the piece that holds all the others together. Every engine carries the name of a part of an arch: LINTEL, CORBEL, PLINTH, SPIRE, CORNICE, BUTTRESS and ARCADE.
HOW KEYSTONE CAME TOGETHER
Over the past months we tested every engine of the VELTIS range across many years and several brokers, including years that are known to be difficult, like 2022 and 2023. Keystone is built from the engines that held up across those tests. Engines that lost money in too many years were left out, even when they looked good in the most recent period.
To be clear about what this means: the engines were selected with data from the same years that the backtests below show. These are not results on data the system has never seen. The real test is the time that comes next.
WHAT KEYSTONE DOES
You attach Keystone to one chart and choose a risk profile. It finds the symbol names at your broker by itself, adds them to Market Watch and runs all seven engines from there. Every trade is opened with a stop loss, and the risk of each trade is a fixed share of the balance.
LINTEL and CORBEL trade oil, about 11 to 12 times a year each. PLINTH trades gold, about 13 times a year. SPIRE trades bitcoin with at most one trade a day, closed within 24 hours. CORNICE trades EURAUD, BUTTRESS trades USDCAD and ARCADE trades USDJPY.
If you prefer a calmer mix, one input switches Keystone to the four engines that had lower drawdowns in testing: LINTEL, CORBEL, PLINTH and CORNICE.
THE RESULTS
We tested each year on its own, starting from 10,000 USD with the Standard profile on a Vantage demo server with 100% real ticks.
2024 ended at 31,088 USD (+210.9%), with a largest equity drawdown of 21.2%.
2025 ended at 35,706 USD (+257.1%), with a largest equity drawdown of 16.8%.
2026 up to 6 November stands at 30,653 USD (+206.5%), with a largest equity drawdown of 24.5%.
Across these three years, 26 of 35 months ended in profit. The losing months were real ones: April 2026 lost 17.3%, and the autumn of 2026 brought three losing months in a row.
PROTECTION THAT WORKS WITHOUT SETTINGS
Keystone protects the account on three levels.
Every trade has its stop loss, and free margin is checked before every order.
Every engine is watched by a health control. When an engine goes through a weak spell, it trades at half or a quarter of its size, or rests, until its results recover.
The whole account has a portfolio brake. During a drawdown all engines trade smaller: 75% of their size at a 10% drawdown, 50% at 15% and 25% at 20%. At 30% below the highest balance, Keystone opens no new trades, lets the open trades finish at their own exits and then stops for good.
A COCKPIT FOR YOUR CHART
Keystone draws a wide instrument panel along the bottom of the chart. On the left a dial with your equity and today's result, on the right a drawdown needle on a scale from 0 to 30, and in between all seven engines with their state, open profit and a small LED meter of their last 30 days. One click turns it into a slim capsule.
WHO IT IS FOR
Keystone is for traders who want to spread their risk over several markets with one product, and who are comfortable with the drawdowns shown above. It needs a hedging account, a broker that offers all six markets, and a VPS, because the bitcoin engine also trades on weekends.
