AetherRetrace

What it is

AetherRetrace is a focused short-only Expert Advisor for EURUSD on H1: bearish structure, ADX strength, pullback into the fast EMA, rejection entry, ATR/structure stop, take-profit as a multiple of the stop, lot size from risk % at the stop.

Why it stands out

1. TP always ≥ SL — default 1.5R; RiskReward cannot go below 1.0
2. No martingale, no grid, no averaging, no recovery
3. Risk-% position sizing at the stop
4. Minimalist identity — EURUSD (recommended), H1, short-only validated package
5. Quality over frequency — selective entries, not daily noise

Trade frequency (set expectations)

Historical Strategy Tester window 2021.01.01 – 2025.12.31 (EURUSD H1):

• 83 trades total
• About 1.4 trades per 30 days on average

This product is not designed for a trade every day. It is built for fewer, cleaner setups. If you need high-frequency activity, this EA is not the right fit.

How it trades

Waits for a bearish EMA structure and minimum ADX, then a pullback into the fast EMA with a rejection candle. Stop uses ATR and swing context. Take-profit is a multiple of the stop. Position size targets your RiskPercent if the stop is hit.

Main inputs

• RiskPercent — % of balance risked at SL
• RiskReward — TP/SL distance (min 1.0, default 1.5)
• MaxSpreadPoints — skip wide spreads
• SessionStartHour / SessionEndHour — broker server time
• MagicNumber — multi-EA isolation

Recommended setup

MetaTrader 5 · EURUSD H1 · demo first with defaults · keep RR ≥ 1.0 · align session to broker server time.
