Conundrum is a fully automated EA trading breakouts after pullbacks.
The EA analyzes small breaks of soil and resistance in the H1 temporality with a high percentage of success.
It is the ideal system for a winning strategy in the medium / long term.
It does NOT use dangerous trading systems like martingale, grid, coverage, etc. All operations always have Stop Loss and Take Profit, one order in one direction at a time.
After pending order enters the market, the EA watches the conditions closely and use different techniques to maximise the profit and minimise potential losses - multiple strategies are employed to manage exit.
Symbols: EURUSD, GBPUSD, USDJPY, EURJPY (experimental: USDCHF)
Timeframe: H1
Recommended Money Management: 0.01 lot per 200USD of balance. This MM will return about 5% monthly (average over portfolio of 4 pairs since 2010) with maximal DD or 23% (last observed in 2012).
EA was thoroughly tested on real tick historical data (99.9%). All tests were carried out with 4$/lot commission and 100ms slippage modelling.
The strategy has proven to be reliable on a long back test period - all results in the screenshot section were obtained on a period from Jan 2010.
A portfolio of 4 currency pairs with 5% of account balance risk in each trade, 5 lots max volume yields 110% annual return with 15% maximal drawdown
Please note that individual dynamic lot tests were done with higher risk for demonstration purpose.
Proper optimisation methodology was applied to every optimisation done for the settings: only a limited historical period or 1 year was used for optimisation, subsequently verified by back- and forward test on a full 10 years period. No periods were excluded from testing: EA is not vulnerable to news and other high volatility events.
That allows us to believe the backtest results accurately reflect the average performance of the strategy.

Important:
- Past performance does not guarantee future results
- Regular losses are part of the strategy, gains build up cumulatively on a medium/long term
- Auto settings recommended
- VPS with low latency recommended to improve the efficiency of exit management
- Every trade has StopLoss and TakeProfit. EA may chose to close the trade before it reached the level, or move TP or SL closer
- No grid, no martingale, no toxic strategies
- All settings in "pips" are 4-digit scale. Example: EURUSD 1pip = 0.0001. EA supports both 4- and 5-digit brokers
PARAMETERS:
General Settings

Money Management
- MM strategy: Fixed lot or or dynamic proportionate to Balance, Equity or Free Margin
- Base lots size: If a fixed lot strategy chosen, that will be the volume of every deal. Otherwise this is a base for dynamic allocation
- Account currency per base lots size (when MM is on): Balance/Equity/Free margin amount per Lot in case of "MM strategy" isn't "Fixed lot"
- Maximum lot (0 - use broker limit): limit for the maximum lot size
- Recovery multiplier (1 - recovery off): Multiply lot after loss until recovered. For some pairs like EURJPY it's acceptable to use factors of 1.6-2.0. Not recommended, use at your own risk
- AutoSettings: Use pre-defined settings for the currency pair. If you chose the pair that is not in the list, EURUSD settings will be used
