Calm Koala EA is a two-sided mean-reversion basket system for AUDCAD on the M15 timeframe.
How it works
- Entry: fades price when it is stretched away from its 50-period average (Bollinger z-score beyond 1.2).
- One basket per side at a time.
- Price grid of 40 pips, up to 6 legs with the lot ladder 1,1,2,4,8,12 (martingale-type averaging), base lot 0.01.
- The basket closes at +20 pips over the average price.
- Optional basket stop in % of balance (InpBasketSL) and margin/volume checks before every order.
Backtest (see the first screenshot: equity curve with dates)
AUDCAD M15, real ticks, 2025.01.02 - 2026.09.01, deposit 1,530 USD, 1:500, default settings (0.01 base lot):
net profit +703 USD (+46%), profit factor 2.43, 586 trades, maximum equity drawdown 25.1% (398 USD). The account never blew up during the test.
Honest limitations
- This is an averaging (martingale-type) strategy without a hard stop: the floating drawdown can be much deeper than the balance drawdown.
Recommendations
- Symbol: AUDCAD, timeframe M15, hedging account.
- Minimum deposit: 1,500 USD per 0.01 base lot.
- Low spread ECN/raw broker and a VPS.

Both signals run on IC Markets accounts and are traded by Expert Advisors from this author's portfolio. A signal does not necessarily run this specific product with the exact default settings, so treat them as live evidence of the portfolio, not as a promise of identical results.
Important risk notice:
Past performance, backtests and live signals do not guarantee future results. Trading leveraged products can lose more than you expect. Always test on a demo account first and only trade money you can afford to lose.
