The Golden Mean — Strategy Overview & Portfolio Examples

The Golden Mean is a trend-following Expert Advisor based on EMA Ribbon, designed to capture trends at the early stage of their formation.
The system focuses on rare but strong market moves with a high Risk/Reward ratio, rather than frequent daily trading.

Key technical features:

• Trend-following logic (EMA Ribbon)

• Works only in directional markets, avoids ranging conditions

• High Risk/Reward: approximately 1:4 up to 1:8 (asset-dependent)

• No martingale, no grid, no averaging

• No AI — classical technical analysis only

• Suitable for long-term and swing trading (H1 / H4)

Supported markets (base presets):

• Gold (XAUUSD)

• Bitcoin (BTCUSD)

• Stock indices: S&P 500, NASDAQ (US100), NIKKEI (JP225)
