SFSnapback EA - the London breakout on gold, managed by a recovery engine that tells you its worst case first.
Every trading day SFSnapback measures the late-Asian range on XAUUSD and trades the first clean break of it into the European morning, long or short. Each entry is managed from the first tick by the same engine as SFRecovery v3.31: if price turns back into the range, an ATR-scaled averaging grid takes over and the whole basket exits at break-even plus your target. Before each cycle it shows how much the full grid could lose, and hard caps close the cycle if it does not come back.
NEW IN v1.10 (SEPTEMBER 2026)
v1.10 replaces the v1.00 pullback entry with the London session breakout: in the same test and at the same 0.01 lot it made about 7 times the profit of v1.00 (+2,188 vs +309 USD) with a similar drawdown (3.2% vs 2.8%). The v1.00 pullback entry is still available (InpEntryMode = 4 with the v1.00 preset). Updates are free for owners.
MEASURED RESULTS - XAUUSD, 2023.03 - 2026.07
Continuous backtests, 10,000 USD, MT5 Strategy Tester, 1-minute OHLC:
- London x2 preset (0.02 lot): net +4,353 USD, profit factor 1.34, 1,111 trades, maximum equity drawdown 5.63% (MT5 report)
- London Standard preset (0.01 lot): net +2,188 USD, profit factor 1.34, 1,113 trades, maximum equity drawdown 3.18% (MT5 report)
- Standard by year: 2023 +711 USD (PF 1.68) | 2024 +435 USD (PF 1.20) | 2025 +713 USD (PF 1.32) | 2026 H1 +374 USD (PF 1.38)
Every calendar year was positive in both presets. The parameters were optimized on 2023-2024 only; the optimizer never saw 2025-2026, and those years stayed positive. Past results do not guarantee future results.
HOW ENTRIES WORK
1. Range: from 04:00 to 08:00 server time the EA records the high and low of the late-Asian session.
2. Break: from 08:00 to 13:00 server time, the first M15 candle that closes beyond the range by 0.4 x ATR(H1) opens the trade. No repainting.
3. One entry per day, in either direction. Days without a clean break are skipped.
4. Server time: the hours are for GMT+2 / GMT+3 brokers (the usual MT5 setup). With another offset, shift the three hour inputs.
HOW A CYCLE IS MANAGED
- ATR-scaled averaging grid, fixed lots (no martingale multiplier), up to 7 averaging orders, each level spaced wider.
- Basket exit at break-even + 25 USD per 0.01 lot; net-positive partial closes shrink the basket on the way.
- Anti-stall: a cycle that runs too long exits at any small positive result.
PROTECTION STACK (set it before you go live)
- Hard money cap per cycle: 80 USD in the Standard preset (0.8% of a 10k account), 160 USD in x2
- 3-tier circuit breaker: reduce lots, halt adds, then flatten + cooldown at 3 / 4 / 6% equity drawdown
- Absolute close from the TRUE equity peak: flatten and stop for good (never reset by cooldowns)
- Worst-case preflight: skip new entries whose full-grid worst case exceeds your % of equity (opt-in)
- Kill scope + halt guard: a protection stop can also flatten other EAs on the symbol or the account (opt-in)
- Daily equity stop and day halt after N stops, for prop-firm rules; regime gate for extreme volatility (opt-in)
- Spread, rollover, margin and exposure guards
WHAT YOU SEE, ALWAYS
- On-chart panel: state, live TRIGGER line, worst case in $ and %, basket break-even line (info, not a stop)
- CONFIG SUMMARY in the Experts journal at start: entry strategy, range hours, every cap ON or OFF
- Every exit tagged in the journal: basket TP, partial, anti-stall, max loss, circuit breaker, absolute close
- Manual Buy / Sell / Close pad and optional Telegram alerts
- Optional: the same engine can also recover your manual trades or other EAs by magic number

READ BEFORE BUYING
Only XAUUSD is validated. This is an averaging (DCA) system: many small wins and fewer, larger losses, capped by the basket limit. The drawdown shown is the maximum equity drawdown measured by the MT5 report, not an internal figure. Past tests do not predict future results. Test on a demo account with the exact sizes you plan to run.
