Hello,
I am an MT5 developer, and I have built two complete applications from scratch:
1. LexTrade, an MT5 algorithmic trading platform
- Expert Advisors in MQL5: breakout, mean reversion, session-based and price-level strategies on XAUUSD and other markets. - Versione: 1.0
- Attivazioni: 5
Description. Opposite idea to LX Breakout Gold: instead of trading continuation, this EA looks for XAUUSD price stretching too far from its short-term average (Z-score of closes on H8) and bets on a snap-back toward the mean. Stop-loss and take-profit are both set from ATR, and the EA limits itself to a maximum of 3 new positions per day. Position size is calculated from account risk %, not margin.
Verified backtest — exact file being sold, real ticks, XAUUSD H8, 2025.05.01–2026.09.01, deposit $100,000, default settings:
- Net profit: +$22,575.30 (+22.6%)
- Trades: 37 (short trades won 95.45%, long trades lower)
- Profit factor: 3.08 — Expected payoff $610.14 per trade
- Balance drawdown: 9.97% ($10,868.30)
- Equity drawdown: 16.00% ($17,455.57)
- Largest winning trade: $1,055.43 — largest losing trade: -$10,868.30
What it does not do. This is a mean-reversion strategy: most wins are small and the occasional loss is large — in this backtest, one single trade accounts for the entire balance drawdown (about 10x the average win). It does not predict news or gaps, and a strong one-directional trend can produce a string of small losses before reversing. Past results do not guarantee future results.
Validator check: 0 errors across EURUSD H1, EURUSD M1, GBPUSD M30, XAUUSD D1.
Launch price: introductory price for the first buyers, increases after [N] sales — standard LexTrade scale.
