AutoGen Hybrid Mean Reversion EA MT5
AutoGen Hybrid Mean Reversion EA MT5 is a fully automated expert advisor that trades the classic Bollinger Bands mean-reversion setup, filtered by the ADX indicator to stay out of strong trending markets. It combines two well-known concepts — reversion to the mean and trend-strength filtering — into a single robust trading robot for MetaTrader 5.
How it works
- Opens a Buy when price closes below the lower Bollinger Band and ADX indicates a ranging market.
- Opens a Sell when price closes above the upper Bollinger Band and ADX indicates a ranging market.
- Take Profit is placed at the middle Bollinger Band, so each trade targets a full reversion to the mean.
- Stop Loss is based on the Average True Range (ATR) so the risk adapts to current market volatility.
- Only one position is held at a time per symbol and magic number.
Risk management
- Risk-capped lot sizing — the volume is automatically reduced so that the stop-loss distance never risks more than the configured percentage of the account balance.
- Margin guard — trades that would require too much of the free margin are skipped to avoid stop-outs.
- Spread-aware stops — stops are validated against bid/ask and exchange rules, so orders are only sent when the server will accept them.
Features
- Works on netting and hedging accounts.
- No martingale, no grid, no hedging — a single clean position per signal.
- Low drawdown by design, thanks to the ATR-based stop loss.
- Full control via input parameters.
