----------------------------------------
SHORT DESCRIPTION
----------------------------------------
Fades statistical price stretch back to the mean. Bounded risk with a hard basket stop. Martingale optional and switchable.
----------------------------------------
DESCRIPTION
----------------------------------------
What this EA does.
AST Pendulum trades mean-reversion: it measures how far price has stretched from its moving average (z-score in standard deviations) and positions against the stretch, aiming for a return to the mean. The basket is closed once price has reverted or a money target is reached.
Deliberately built with BOUNDED risk (default configuration):
- Fixed lot size when scaling in (no progression)
- Capped number of additional positions
- HARD basket stop as a percent of balance -> maximum loss is bounded
Backtest of the SAFE default configuration (AUDCAD H1, 2016-2026, real ticks):
- Profit factor: 1.57
- Sharpe ratio: 1.97
- Maximum drawdown: 1.24% (0.01 Lot fix)
Backtest results; no guarantee of future returns.
----------------------------------------
OPTIONAL MARTINGALE FEATURE (HIGH RISK, OFF BY DEFAULT)
----------------------------------------
For experienced users, a lot progression (1-2-3-4-5-6) with more legs can be enabled. It increases return - but through leverage, not a better edge, and with much higher risk. Honest comparison (same pair/period):
Configuration | Profit factor | Sharpe | Max. drawdown (0.01 Lot fix)
---------------------+---------------+--------+--------------
Safe (default) | 1.57 | 1.97 | 1.24%
Martingale (opt-in) | 1.50 | 1.45 | 6.51%
WARNING: Martingale mode can lead to TOTAL LOSS on small accounts.
It is OFF by default. Enabling it is a deliberate choice at your own risk -
only with capital you can afford to lose.
----------------------------------------

----------------------------------------
RISK WARNING (MANDATORY FOOTER)
----------------------------------------
