Rolux DAX Morning EA
Morning-window expert advisor for the DAX (GER40) on M5, based on the Rolux line and ATR band signal, with fixed stop loss and take profit.
Rolux DAX Morning EA trades one position at a time on the DAX (GER40) during a fixed morning window, using the same signal logic as the Rolux DAX PRO indicator. The signal is calculated inside the EA, so the indicator is not required on the chart. All trades are closed at the end of the day: nothing is left open overnight.
How it works
- Signal: a double linear-regression line (Rolux Line) with an ATR band. A BUY or SELL signal appears when the trend flips and the whole candle (Heikin Ashi by default) closes beyond the line.
- Time window: new trades are opened only inside an Italian-time window (default 09:50 - 11:15). The window follows daylight saving time. Server time offset and daylight-saving rule are set in the inputs (default: server UTC+2 in winter, US rule, as used by most CFD brokers).
- One position at a time. Signals that appear while a position is open are ignored.
- Fixed stop loss and take profit in index points (default 40 and 350).
- No overnight positions: every open trade is closed at the end of the day (default 17:25 Italian time), so nothing stays open overnight or over the weekend.
- Optional: trend filter (SMA 200 on M5: rising = buy only, falling = sell only), partial close, break even, direction filter, day-of-week filter, maximum trades per day, maximum spread.
- Position size: percent of the balance at risk per trade (default 0.5%, calculated from the stop loss distance), a fixed amount at risk, or fixed lots.
Recommended use
- Symbol: GER40 / DAX index CFD. Chart: any; the signal is always calculated on M5 data (M5 recommended).
- Default settings were studied on M5 data of one broker, from January 2025 to October 2026.
- Check the server time inputs with your broker before trading.
- Test on a demo account first.
Historical test (not a forecast)
Strategy Tester, GER40 M5, real broker data, default settings (stop loss 40 points, take profit 350 points, window 09:50 - 11:15, end-of-day close 17:25), risk 0.5% of the balance per trade, deposit 25,000.
- 2025: 177 trades, 31.6% winning trades, profit factor 1.59, maximum equity drawdown 8.3%, longest losing series 9 trades.
- 2026 (January - October): 139 trades, 27.3% winning trades, profit factor 1.53, maximum equity drawdown 9.6%, longest losing series 13 trades.
A take profit of 200 points gives a smoother equity curve and a lower profit factor in the same tests (2025: 1.31, 2026: 1.47; see the screenshots).
Many winning trades are closed by the end-of-day close rather than by the take profit.
Because the risk is a percentage of the balance, results compound and drawdowns are measured in percent of the balance: 13 consecutive losses at 0.5% risk cost roughly 6% of the balance.
The strategy wins in a minority of trades and relies on a larger take profit than stop loss. Losing streaks and months without profit can occur; the longest losing series in the tests is shown above. Results depend on spread, execution and broker data, and the settings were chosen on the same period shown in the test. Past results do not guarantee future results.
Risk warning
