AEX Index Netherlands 25 Patterns

NETHERLANDS 25 INDEX PATTERNS

Expert Advisor for MetaTrader 5 | NETH25 / Netherlands 25 CFD | H1

OVERVIEW

Netherlands 25 Index Patterns is a systematic, buy-only Expert Advisor designed around three recurring price behaviours on the one-hour (H1) timeframe. Entries are evaluated only after a complete H1 bar and executed at the first available tick of the next bar. Exits are based on elapsed H1 bars.

STRATEGY

S1 — Low Rejection: bullish rejection of a newly established short-term price low, followed by a time-based exit after 7 H1 bars.

S3 — Trend Reclaim: bullish recovery of the short-term moving average during an established upward trend, followed by a time-based exit after 14 H1 bars.

S5 — Gap Rejection: a downward price gap followed by a bullish rejection, followed by a time-based exit after 5 H1 bars.

All setups enter BUY only. Each setup can hold at most one position and the portfolio supports up to three simultaneous BUY positions. The EA does not use time-of-day entry filters, grid or martingale logic. No Stop Loss or Take Profit is sent; exits depend on the number of completed H1 bars and market execution.

HISTORICAL STRATEGY TEST (ORIGINAL, HEDGING VERSION)

Instrument: NETH25, H1; tested from January 2018 through 7 September 2026 (2026 partial).

Initial deposit: EUR 5,000. Tested volume: 4.50 lots per trade (broker-specific; not a recommended volume).

Closed trades: 1,053. Profit factor: 1.416. Winning trades: 57.64%. Maximum equity drawdown: 5.61% (EUR 357.26). Maximum balance drawdown: 4.42% (EUR 280.08). Net historical tester result: EUR +3,615.76; these are hypothetical testing results, NOT live earnings.

Eight full calendar years from 2018 to 2025 were positive, but the weakest year, 2018, had a profit factor of only 1.11. The 2026 period is incomplete.

Setup S1: 317 trades, PF 1.404. S3: 513 trades, PF 1.361. S5: 223 trades, PF 1.659.

The test's trade-by-trade cumulative unlevered price movement was +900.65 index points (price differences only, excluding contract value, transaction costs and swaps). It is not a currency return or a net investment gain.

INSTALLATION AND USE

1. Place the compiled EX5 EA into MetaTrader 5 / MQL5 / Experts and restart or refresh Navigator. A compiled EX5 is required; this source-code package does NOT include a compiled EX5.

2. Choose your broker's Netherlands 25/NETH25 CFD, open H1 and attach the EA. Confirm contract specifications and tick value before trading.

3. Allow algorithmic trading in terminal and EA settings. Use a demo account first and verify order and margin behaviour.

4. The original version was tested on a HEDGING account. A separately supplied MARKET_CANDIDATE source implements experimental netting handling but has not been compiled, tested or validated. Do not assume it is equivalent to the tested original.

5. Configure the fixed lot size only after checking leverage, margin requirements and account risk capacity. The 4.50 test lot is not a recommended default for other brokers or account sizes.

LIMITATIONS AND RISK

Risk disclosure: This EA DOES NOT place a Stop Loss or Take Profit. Positions use a bar-count-based exit only, so the exposure is not capped during the holding period. Gaps, illiquidity, margin changes, overnight financing costs, spreads, slippage and broker price feeds may cause larger losses than those visible in the historical test. Three BUY positions may overlap, increasing correlated exposure. No martingale or progressive lot increase is present in the reviewed source. Trading can result in a total loss of account equity; losses could exceed the historical maximum drawdown. Historical returns are not a forecast.

HISTORICAL PERFORMANCE DISCLAIMER

All metrics are from a historical Strategy Tester run of the preserved original EA. There is no independently verified live trading record and no promise of future results. Different brokers, spread, liquidity, sessions and data may produce materially different behaviour. Market compatibility is pending native compilation and official validation.
