For 200 years, merchant ships rode the trade winds across oceans. They didn't predict the wind. They didn't fight it. They caught the current already blowing and let it carry them.
Tradewind applies the same principle to gold and yen — two of the most consistently trending markets in the world.
🎯 What Tradewind Is
Tradewind is a systematic trend-following Expert Advisor built around one disciplined idea:
Catch persistent directional currents in markets that have them. Ignore everything else.
Most EAs trade one asset, in one direction, with one set of rules. Tradewind trades multiple uncorrelated trending markets independently — each evaluated on its own merits, each managed with its own position. When all are trending, you're in multiple trades. When none are, you're flat. The strategy has the patience to wait. ⏳
✅ Multi-asset by design — diversifies across gold and JPY (oil optional) ✅ Higher-timeframe entries — H4 entry, daily-timeframe trend confirmation ✅ Multi-week holds — captures the long moves, ignores intraday noise ✅ Volatility-adapted risk — stops scale with each market's ATR ✅ Auto-scaled position sizing — adapts to your account balance automatically ✅ Hard equity kill switch — automatic halt at 25% drawdown from peak ✅ Margin pre-flight checks — never sends an order the broker would reject ✅ Broker-flexible — auto-detects symbol naming variants across all major brokers ✅ State-aware restart recovery — survives MT5 restarts without breaking trade discipline ✅ No grid. No martingale. No averaging. Every trade has a hard stop loss, set on entry.
🚫 What Tradewind Is NOT
❌ Not a scalper. Trades hold for days to weeks. If you want 50 trades a day, look elsewhere.
❌ Not a grid system. One position per asset. Stop loss is fixed on entry.
❌ Not a martingale. Lot sizes are calculated from your equity and the trade's stop distance — never increased to "recover" a loss.
❌ Not "AI" or "machine learning" — just rigorous classical trend logic, validated across 6+ years of data.
❌ Not curve-fitted. Strategy parameters are locked. The same configuration that produced the 6.3-year backtest is the configuration you run live.
⚡ One Setting. The EA Handles Everything Else.
Tradewind auto-configures itself for your account — you don't tune anything else:
🔍 Detects your account balance, leverage, and currency 📊 Auto-scales risk-per-trade for small accounts (down to $1,000) 🎯 Trades broker minimum lots (0.01) when account size requires it 🛡️ Pre-flight margin checks every order to prevent broker rejection 🔄 Auto-resolves broker symbol naming — XAUUSD , XAUUSDm , XAUUSD.pro , GOLD , etc. ⚖️ Hard absolute risk cap — no single trade ever exceeds 5% of equity
Just attach the EA, pick Conservative / Moderate / Aggressive, enable AutoTrading. That's it.
🌍 Asset Universe
| Symbol | Why It's Included |
|---|---|
| 🥇 XAUUSD (Gold) | The world's most consistently trending asset. Strong directional moves driven by macro flows. |
| 💴 USDJPY (Yen) | Persistent rate-differential trends. Carry-friendly when long. |
| 🛢️ XTIUSD / USOIL (optional) | Add to symbol list if your broker offers WTI oil. Strong commodity momentum. |
The EA auto-detects whatever name your broker uses ( XTIUSD , USOIL , WTIUSD , etc.).
⚖️ Three Risk Tiers — Pick Your Comfort
| Tier | Base Risk | Style |
|---|---|---|
| 🟢 Conservative | 1.0% | Slow, smooth, low drawdown. For risk-averse capital. |
| 🟡 Moderate (default) | 1.5% | Balanced. The middle path. Recommended starting point. |
| 🔴 Aggressive | 2.5% | Higher returns, larger swings. For experienced operators. |
Auto-scaling adjusts these slightly upward for smaller accounts to compensate for broker minimum-lot granularity. Larger accounts use the base tier directly.
📊 Validated Backtest Performance
📅 Period: 2020-01-01 to 2026-04-29 (6.3 years — pandemic, war, rate cycles, three regime changes) 💱 Symbols: XAUUSD + USDJPY + XTIUSD 💰 Starting capital: $10,000 📈 Leverage: 1:30 🔴 Risk tier: Aggressive (2.5%)
| Metric | Value |
|---|---|
| Net Profit | +$20,872 (+208%) |
| CAGR | 19.49% |
| Maximum Drawdown | 11.65% |
| Sharpe Ratio | 1.85 |
| Profit Factor | 2.42 |
| Total Trades | 156 |
| Win Rate | 57.05% |
| Recovery Factor | 5.25 |
| Linear Equity Correlation | 0.95 |
Moderate tier (1.5%): +96.9% net / 11.3% CAGR / 6.79% maximum drawdown / Sharpe 1.92 Conservative tier (1.0%): +65% net / 7.6% CAGR / 4.5% maximum drawdown
⚠️ Past performance is not indicative of future results. Live performance typically delivers 70-85% of backtest figures after spread, slippage, and broker-specific execution. Plan for ~13-16% live CAGR at the Aggressive tier.
🛠️ Account Compatibility
| Account Size | Behavior |
|---|---|
| 💎 $10,000+ | Standard tier-based sizing (matches validated backtest) |
| 💼 $3,500-$10,000 | Auto-scaled +10% to +30% risk per trade |
| 🚀 $1,500-$3,500 | Auto-scaled +30% to +60% risk per trade |
| 🪴 $1,000-$1,500 | Auto-scaled, broker minimum lot enabled |
| ⛔ Below $1,000 | EA will not open new trades (hard minimum) |
Leverage: Strategy is risk-based (% of equity per trade), not lot-based. Works on any leverage from 1:30 (regulated EU brokers) up to 1:1000 (offshore high-leverage accounts). Higher leverage does NOT increase risk per trade — it just means margin uses less of your equity.
Broker compatibility: Auto-detects symbol-name variants across IC Markets, Pepperstone, Exness, Darwinex, FBS, RoboForex, and most major brokers — no configuration needed.
Account types: Hedging required (MT5 default). Both real and prop firm accounts (FTMO, FundedNext, MyForexFunds, etc.) work — verify the prop firm allows EAs and trend-following strategies.
🖥️ On-Chart Dashboard
Tradewind includes a clean, on-chart dashboard showing in real time:
- 🎯 Current risk tier and uptime
- 💰 Equity, balance, peak equity, drawdown %
- 📡 Per-symbol regime status (active / waiting / off)
- 📊 Open positions with live P&L
- 🔢 Trade count and kill-switch status
- 🎨 Branded chart theme (optional).
The dashboard auto-sizes to your screen and supports 4K monitors. A subtle brand watermark marks any chart Tradewind is running on.
⚙️ User Inputs (Just 8)

That's it. No timeframe to pick. No indicator periods to tweak. No magic optimization to chase. Auto-risk, min-lot handling, margin checks, symbol resolution — all built-in defaults that just work.
🔄 Restart Recovery
A real EA needs to survive MT5 restarts. Tradewind does:
✅ Existing positions are scanned on startup and re-tracked. Trail stops resume. ✅ Per-symbol cool-down is reconstructed from open position open times. ✅ Peak equity is persisted to file, so the kill switch survives restarts during a drawdown.
Crash, reboot, broker disconnect — the strategy picks up where it left off, with state intact.
