Sextant EA

Sextant - Multi-Strategy Portfolio EA 

Sextant runs six independent strategies from a single chart: three on gold, one on USDJPY, one on EURJPY and one on the S&P 500 index. Each strategy has its own entries, exits and stop-loss, and all six share one risk engine and one set of account protections. You can switch any strategy on or off.

The six strategies are Strategy 1 (Gold, 1-hour), Strategy 2 (Gold, 1-hour), Strategy 3 (Gold, 30-minute), Strategy 4 (USDJPY, 15-minute), Strategy 5 (EURJPY, 15-minute) and Strategy 6 (US500, 15-minute). Every trade carries a stop-loss. The EA does not use martingale or grid methods.

Risk is easy to set. Choose a fixed amount per trade (the default is 20 in your account currency) or a fixed lot size. In amount mode the lot size is calculated from each trade's stop distance and always rounded down. If an account is too small to size a trade safely, the trade is skipped instead of taking extra risk. You can also set a daily loss limit, a drawdown limit and a cap on total open risk. When a limit is reached, the EA stops opening trades, and you can choose to close open trades as well.

A dashboard on the chart shows the status of each strategy, open trades, today's result, open risk and drawdown.

Recommended broker: IC Markets. Sextant was developed and tested on IC Markets MetaTrader 5 accounts, and we recommend them for results closest to the backtests shown. The EA works with other brokers, but spreads, execution and symbol specifications differ between brokers, so your results may also differ. Symbols are detected automatically (on IC Markets they are XAUUSD, USDJPY, EURJPY and US500), and prefix, suffix and manual symbol settings are available for other brokers.

Requirements: a MetaTrader 5 hedging account, because several strategies can hold gold positions at the same time. Attach the EA to any one chart. No other setup is needed. [Confirm minimum balance.] A larger balance is recommended, because the smaller the account, the larger the risk per trade becomes.

Backtest: January 2020 to October 2026, four symbols, a 10,000 deposit and a fixed risk of 100 per trade, with 99 percent history quality. The test produced a net profit of 100,207.77, a profit factor of 1.30, 7,732 trades, a win rate of 49.6 percent, a maximum equity drawdown of 9.84 percent and a longest losing streak of 17 trades. Full details are in the screenshots.

Backtest results are hypothetical and do not guarantee future performance. Live results depend on the broker, spread, slippage and execution. Trading involves risk of loss. Please test on a demo account first.
