- Activations: 10
This EA is optimized for the USDJPY pair on the M15 timeframe.
The Long Haul EA boasts a consistent 90%+ WIN RATE!!!
Ride the long moves – without the long nights.
LongHaul EA is a fully-automated trend-following expert advisor that opens one to ten smart, low-maintenance positions* per symbol and lets them run, using adaptive ATR trailing and a rigorous draw-down circuit-breaker to keep risk in check.
Built for Swing traders who’d rather catch the multi-day wave than scalp the chop.
CORE CONCEPT
-
Volatility-Filtered Entries
Standard Deviation filters identify “quiet” price phases. When the market breaks out of that compression, LongHaul strikes in the breakout direction with a 90%+ win rate! -
Adaptive Trade Management
A dynamic ATR-based trailing stop replaces the traditional fixed SL. As volatility expands, the stop widens; as momentum fades, it tightens. -
Equity High-Water-Mark Protection
Each trading day starts with a fresh equity snapshot. If floating or closed P/L drops by x % from that high-water mark, new entries are paused (and, optionally, all positions can be flushed).

Risk & Disclaimer
LongHaul EA is not a martingale, grid or arbitrage robot – but it still trades real money and can incur losses. Back-test thoroughly, forward-demo first, and never risk capital you cannot afford to lose. Past performance is not a guarantee of future returns.
