Bears Graph Pro

Bears Graph Pro

Bears Graph Pro is a MetaTrader 5 Expert Advisor designed for GBPUSD on the M30 timeframe. It combines several native MetaTrader indicators into one configurable trading system: RSI, Bears Power, Bollinger Bands, MACD, ADX, EMA trend filtering and ATR volatility filtering.

The idea of the EA is simple: it looks for directional movement, confirms the signal with momentum and market structure, then manages the trade with fixed stops, take profit, breakeven and optional volatility-based tools. The default preset is prepared for GBPUSD M30, but the inputs are open so the user can test and adapt the robot to other broker conditions.

Bears Graph Pro does not use martingale, grid, arbitrage, news trading, external signals, DLL imports or WebRequest. It is built only with standard MetaTrader 5 functions and native indicators.

Main Concept

The EA is based on the relationship between price momentum and bearish pressure measured through Bears Power. Bears Power is a standard MetaTrader oscillator that compares the current low price with an exponential moving average. In practical terms, it helps estimate whether sellers still have pressure or whether that pressure is changing.

RSI is used as the main momentum filter. It helps the EA avoid entering only because one indicator changes direction. Bollinger Bands are used as a market structure and exit tool. MACD can be used as an additional momentum confirmation. ADX and DI can be used to filter weak or unclear market phases. ATR can be used to avoid trading when volatility is too low or too high.

The result is a rule-based EA with several layers of confirmation and risk control. The purpose is not to open trades randomly or continuously, but to wait for conditions that match the selected preset.

Trading Logic

The EA supports two signal modes:

• Cross mode - waits for RSI to cross the selected RSI level while Bears Power moves in the same direction. This is the default logic in the final GBPUSD M30 preset. It is more selective and is intended for cleaner entries.
• Active mode - uses separate RSI levels for buy and sell entries and a Bears Power slope filter. This mode is designed for more frequent activity, but it should be tested carefully because more trades do not automatically mean better quality.

The EA can open buy and sell positions. Long and short signals are handled separately, and each trade is checked against spread, daily risk, account drawdown, cooldown and optional time filters before the order is sent.

Entry Filters

• RSI filter - measures momentum. A higher RSI value generally shows stronger bullish momentum, while a lower RSI value generally shows stronger bearish momentum.
• Bears Power filter - measures seller pressure relative to a moving average. The EA can use Bears Power movement, slope and an optional Bears Power level filter to avoid weak entries.
• Bollinger Bands - can be used for exit logic when price interaction with the bands suggests that the current movement may be losing quality.
• MACD filter - helps confirm that the entry direction is aligned with broader momentum. In the final preset, this filter is enabled.
• ADX and DI filter - can filter for trend strength and directional alignment between +DI and -DI.
• EMA trend filter - can restrict buy or sell signals depending on the moving average structure.
• ATR volatility filter - can avoid trading during very quiet or excessively volatile market conditions.

Exit and Trade Management

• Fixed Stop Loss and Take Profit - classic fixed stop loss and take profit values in pips.
• Breakeven - can move the stop loss after the position reaches a defined profit distance.
• ATR-based stops - optional dynamic stop loss and take profit logic based on market volatility.
• ATR trailing stop - optional trailing stop that follows volatility rather than a fixed distance.
• Minimum stop update - ignores very small stop-loss modifications to reduce unnecessary order traffic.
• One stop update per bar - keeps trade management cleaner by limiting stop-loss modifications.

Risk Management

Bears Graph Pro includes several risk controls that can be adjusted by the user:

• Fixed lot or percent-risk position sizing
• Spread filter for new trades
• Maximum trades per day
• Cooldown between trades
• Daily loss protection
• Optional daily gain lock
• Maximum equity drawdown protection
• Optional equity peak guard
• Margin check before sending orders
• Broker volume step normalization

These controls are important because the same EA can behave differently on different brokers due to spread, commission, execution speed, symbol digits, swap and available liquidity.

Recommended Setup

• Symbol: GBPUSD
• Timeframe: M30
• Account type: Any
• Testing model: Real ticks
• Preset file: Bears Graph Pro - FINAL GBPUSD M30 Regime.set

The EA can be tested on other symbols and timeframes, but the default settings should not be assumed to fit every market. Before using the EA on a live account, run your own Strategy Tester checks with your broker data, including spread and commission.

Backtest Information

The following result is a historical Strategy Tester backtest. It is not a guarantee of future performance and should not be interpreted as a real trading result.

• Symbol: GBPUSD
• Timeframe: M30
• Model: Real ticks
• Period: 2024.07.12 - 2026.07.12
• Initial deposit: 5,000 USD
• Leverage: 1:500
• Net profit: 17,489.51 USD
• Approximate return: 349.79%
• Profit factor: 1.83
• Recovery factor: 8.75
• Sharpe ratio: 3.96
• Total trades: 314
• Profit trades: 78.34%
• Equity drawdown maximal: 1,999.40 USD / 10.51%
• Equity drawdown relative: 25.06%

Backtests are useful for studying how a strategy behaved on historical data, but they do not remove market risk. Live results can differ because of spread, commission, slippage, execution quality, broker rules and future market conditions.

Practical Notes

For the first test, use the included preset on GBPUSD M30. If your broker has different spreads or commission, adjust the lot size and spread filter before testing. Conservative risk is recommended when moving from the Strategy Tester to a demo account.

Use the Strategy Tester to compare results with your own broker data. A good workflow is to test the default preset first, then adjust only a small number of parameters at a time. This makes it easier to understand which setting changed the result.
