Corvane Momentum Portfolio
- Experts
- Version: 1.0
- Activations: 5
One EA, four momentum strategies, one risk setting: +399% in more than seven years of backtest at 1% risk per trade.
Corvane Momentum Portfolio runs four independent, fully automated momentum strategies in a single Expert Advisor: GBPJPY on M15, USDJPY on H1, the NASDAQ 100 on H1 with an H4 filter, and the Dow Jones 30 (US30) on H1. Each strategy trades its own market with its own rules and its own magic number, and all four are controlled from one chart with one Money Management setting.
Each strategy is also available as a separate EA — Corvane GBPJPY Momentum, Corvane USDJPY Momentum, Corvane Nasdaq Momentum and Corvane Dow Jones Momentum — in my MQL5 profile.
The rules are strict by design: no martingale, no grid, no averaging down. Every trade is protected by a real Stop Loss and Take Profit placed on the broker's server — never hidden — and each strategy holds at most one position, so there are never more than four positions open. Open positions are closed on Friday evening, so there is no weekend gap exposure. It runs on both Hedging and Netting accounts.
The four strategies
- Corvane GBPJPY Momentum — GBP/JPY, M15, long only, with a trailing stop
- Corvane USDJPY Momentum — USD/JPY, H1, long only, with an automatic move to breakeven
- Corvane Nasdaq Momentum — NASDAQ 100, H1 with an H4 filter, long only, with an automatic move to breakeven
- Corvane Dow Jones Momentum — Dow Jones 30, H1, long only, with an automatic move to breakeven
Every strategy is fully isolated: its own symbol, its own timeframe, its own magic number and its own trade comment. Each one reads its indicators from its own market, whatever chart the EA is attached to, so every strategy behaves exactly like its separate EA and you can audit each one in your history.

Backtest results are not real trading results and do not guarantee future performance.
Why four strategies together
Two JPY pairs and two US stock indices tend to move at different moments. Each strategy only trades when its own conditions are met, so while one waits another may be working. Keep in mind that the risk is set per strategy: at 1% per trade, up to four positions can be open at once, so up to 4% of the account can be at risk at the same time. Choose your risk per trade with that in mind.
Money Management (one setting for the four strategies)
- Risk mode per trade — percent of equity, so the risk follows the account as it grows or draws down, or a fixed amount of money per trade.
- % of equity per trade (Percent mode, rolling) — 1% by default, the configuration of the backtest.
- USD per trade (Fixed Money mode) — the amount each trade risks when you prefer a fixed figure.
- Max lot cap (safety) — a hard limit on the size of any position.
- Max trades/day (0 = unlimited) — optional daily limit.
System profile
This is a long-term system. It looks for quality trades rather than quantity, so there will be periods when one or more strategies do not trade. That is normal: each strategy only enters when its conditions are met.
Full transparency: in the backtest, the worst losing streak was 7 consecutive trades ($1,816 lost on the test account at 1% risk). Losing streaks like that are a normal part of this system's statistics.
Installation and use
- Attach the EA to one chart of a liquid symbol (for example GBPJPY, H1). One chart runs all four strategies.
- In the SYMBOLS group, type your broker's exact symbol names, including the suffix (for example GBPJPY.a, NAS100.fs, US30.cash). If a name does not match, that strategy stays out and the Experts tab tells you which one.
- In MONEY MANAGEMENT, choose the risk mode and the risk per trade.
- Enable AutoTrading. That's it: the EA does the rest.
Recommendations
- A broker with low spreads that offers the four symbols (GBPJPY, USDJPY, NASDAQ 100 and Dow Jones 30).
- Fast execution and, ideally, a VPS for 24/5 operation.
- Recommended minimum balance: $3,000. With smaller balances, index positions at 1% risk can fall below your broker's minimum lot, and those trades are skipped.
- Test first on a demo account to confirm your symbol names and the behavior with your broker.
Frequently asked questions (FAQ)
One of the strategies does not open any trades.
First check that its symbol is spelled exactly as in your broker's Market Watch: the Experts tab reports any symbol it cannot find. If the name is right, the strategy is simply waiting for its conditions.
In the Strategy Tester, one of the strategies does not trade at the start of the test.
Your broker may not have price history for that symbol at the start date you chose. That strategy waits and starts by itself as soon as the history is available — the Experts tab tells you when it is waiting and when it starts — while the other strategies trade normally.
Does it keep positions over the weekend?
No. Open positions are closed on Friday evening.
Can I run it together with the separate Corvane EAs or other EAs?
Yes. Every strategy of the portfolio uses its own magic number, different from those of the separate Corvane EAs, and only manages its own trades.
Can I use it on a Netting account?
Yes. It works on both Hedging and Netting accounts.
Trading involves risk and can result in the loss of your capital. Test the EA on a demo account before using it live. Backtest results are not real trading results and do not guarantee future performance.
