NomadAI

Nomad AI trades the three commodity crosses — AUDCAD, AUDNZD, NZDCAD — from a single M15 chart. It is a mean-reversion grid: an RSI extreme inside a measured volatility regime opens a position, further levels are spaced by ATR, and each symbol's basket is closed together at a take-profit measured net of swap and commission.

Version 2.01 is a rewritten engine that has then been independently reviewed twice. The strategy is unchanged; every mechanism around it was audited and fixed — grid spacing that is now really ATR-based, a basket target that is really a percentage of balance, a magic number so the EA touches only its own trades, daily and total loss limits that are enforced rather than displayed, risk state that survives a restart, liquidations that keep retrying until they are actually complete, and full support for netting accounts. The complete list is in the "What's new" tab.

How it trades

• Entry: RSI below 40 (buy) or above 60 (sell) on the closed M15 bar, with the 96-bar ATR above (buy) or below (sell) the 672-bar ATR, and the 100-bar standard deviation at its 100-bar extreme.
• Grid: a new level needs at least BaseTradeDistance + ATR × ATR_Multiplier pips from every open level of that symbol, in the basket's direction. Lot per level is a multiple of the base lot (2nd, 3rd–5th, 6th onward).
• Exit: the whole basket of a symbol closes when its floating result, net of swap and commission, reaches BasketTakeProfitPercent of the balance.

Risk rules (all enforced, all on the panel)

• Floating drawdown — at MAX_DRAWDOWN_PERCENT of balance everything is closed and no entry is taken for StandDownHoursAfterCutoff.
• Daily loss — equity against the balance at the start of the server day; at DailyLossLimitPercent everything is closed and entries stop until the next day.
• Total loss — equity against the balance the EA started with; at TotalLossLimitPercent everything is closed and the EA halts.
• Per-symbol depth cap, total position cap, cap on the number of symbols with an open basket, spread limit, free-margin check and broker volume limits before every order.

Three measured profiles

• Standard (the defaults): 0.02 lots per 1,000, 15% cutoff, limits off. 2023–2026 on IC Markets history, real ticks: +143%, equity drawdown 18%. Five of five eight-month walk-forward windows profitable.
• Conservative (set file in the comments): 0.01 lots per 1,000, 8% cutoff, 10% daily / 20% total limits. Same window: +30%, equity drawdown 13.6%; the limits never fired.
• Prop-firm rules (set file in the comments): 0.005 lots per 1,000, 4% cutoff, 5% daily / 10% total. Same window: flat. The limits are enforced, but at a size that respects a 5%/10% rule this strategy did not earn anything over that period — buy it for a prop-firm challenge only if you have tested it yourself on your firm's rules.

Read this before buying

This is a grid without a per-position stop loss. Its balance curve rises in small steps and falls in large ones when the floating-drawdown cutoff fires. The 2.01 defaults (0.02 lots per 1,000 of equity, 20-pip grid step, depth 6, 0.3% basket target, 15% cutoff) were chosen by measurement: on IC Markets history 2023–2026 they hold up on the half of the window they were not chosen on, on all five walk-forward windows, and from any of the three charts, with a measured equity drawdown of about 18% on real ticks. Do not raise the lot size to 1.16's old 0.05: the same grid then liquidates three times as often and loses. Backtest it yourself on your broker's history before running it live; the Strategy Tester runs all three symbols from the AUDCAD chart.

Setup

1. Attach to one AUDCAD M15 chart. Nothing else needs to be open.
2. If your broker adds a suffix to symbol names (AUDCAD.r, AUDCADm …), type it into symbolSuffix exactly as it appears.
3. Leave Symbols at the default unless you know why you are changing it.
4. A hedging account is recommended; netting accounts are supported (grid depth is read from the merged position's entry deals).

Tested on IC Markets history. Tight spreads matter: the basket target is small and the spread is paid on every level. If you do not already have a tight-spread account, this is the broker the figures above were measured on: icmarkets.com.
