NorthSlope EA

NorthSlope is an automated trend-following Expert Advisor developed specifically for Apple Inc. (AAPL) on the H1 timeframe.

The system is designed to identify sustained bullish momentum and open long positions only. It does not use short selling, grid trading, martingale, averaging down or recovery-based position sizing.

NorthSlope follows a clear and disciplined process:

• It analyses the market once per new H1 candle.
• It uses Supertrend-based logic to detect bullish market conditions.
• It confirms that the trend direction is rising before opening a position.
• It calculates the stop loss using market volatility.
• It adjusts the trade volume according to the selected percentage of account equity.
• It closes the position when the stop loss is reached or when the Supertrend changes to bearish.

The EA does not close trades after a fixed number of hours or candles. A position may remain open while the bullish trend continues.

Designed exclusively for AAPL

NorthSlope is not a generic multi-asset trading robot.

It has been developed and tested specifically for:

• Asset: Apple Inc. — AAPL
• Timeframe: H1
• Direction: Long only
• Platform: MetaTrader 5

Different brokers may use different symbol names for Apple, including AAPL , AAPL.NAS , AAPL.OQ or Apple . The correct Apple symbol must be available in the broker’s MetaTrader 5 terminal.

Trading logic

NorthSlope waits for the Supertrend to confirm bullish market conditions.

A long position is opened only when the trend is bullish and the Supertrend line shows a rising slope. This additional confirmation is intended to avoid entering during weak or flat market conditions.

Once a position is open, the EA continues holding it while the bullish trend remains valid.

The trade is closed when:

• the stop loss is reached; or
• the Supertrend changes from bullish to bearish.

NorthSlope does not use a fixed take-profit target. Its objective is to allow strong bullish trends to develop while limiting losing trades through predefined risk management.

Risk management

NorthSlope uses dynamic position sizing based on:

• current account equity;
• the selected risk percentage;
• the distance between the entry price and stop loss;
• the contract specifications provided by the broker.

The default configuration is designed around a nominal risk of approximately 0.5% of account equity per trade.

This percentage represents the intended risk under normal execution conditions. The final loss may differ because of market gaps, slippage, commissions, swaps, liquidity or broker execution.

Multi-broker testing

NorthSlope has been backtested using historical data from several different MetaTrader 5 environments, including:

• Darwinex
• Fusion Markets
• IC Markets
• BlackBull Markets
• FTMO demo infrastructure

The purpose of these tests was not to obtain identical results across every platform.

Each trading environment may provide different:

• historical prices;
• spreads;
• commissions;
• swaps;
• market sessions;
• contract sizes;
• tick quality;
• execution assumptions;
• corporate-action handling.

The objective was to evaluate whether the strategy maintained broadly consistent behaviour under different datasets and trading conditions.

Across the tested environments, NorthSlope generally maintained the same core characteristics:

• long-only trend-following behaviour;
• controlled risk per operation;
• a relatively low win rate combined with larger average winning trades;
• positive long-term results during the tested periods;
• no martingale, grid or averaging-down exposure.

Apple stock split considerations

Some MetaTrader 5 historical datasets may represent Apple stock splits incorrectly.

For example, Apple’s 4-for-1 split in August 2020 may appear as an artificial price collapse when a position opened using pre-split prices is closed using post-split historical prices.

This can create an unrealistic backtest loss even when the EA placed a valid stop loss.

For more reliable testing, users should:

• use split-adjusted historical data;
• begin the test after the relevant corporate action;
• or carefully review trades that remain open across stock splits.

Backtest results can vary significantly depending on how each broker handles historical corporate actions.

Important notice

NorthSlope is a trading tool, not a guarantee of profitability.

Historical, simulated and monitored performance does not guarantee future results. Market conditions can change, and every trading strategy may experience losing periods and drawdowns.

Before using NorthSlope on a live account, test it thoroughly in the MetaTrader 5 Strategy Tester and on a demo account using the same broker, symbol and settings intended for live trading.
