Alignment Lab

Overview

Alignment Lab is a backtest-only quantitative data collection and statistical analysis Expert Advisor for MetaTrader 5. It is not a live trading system — it is a precision instrument for studying trade sequence behavior, streak patterns, and volume progression strategies under controlled backtesting conditions.

What It Does

Alignment Lab simulates structured trade sequences and collects granular statistical data on outcomes, helping traders answer questions like:

• How often do win/loss streaks occur, and how long do they run?
• How does volume progression affect overall results?
• What happens when you follow, reverse, or randomize trade direction?

Key Features

🔁 6 Trading Modes (Rules)

• Follow — repeat the last direction if it won; switch if it lost
• Zig Zag — alternate Buy/Sell on every trade
• Reverse — opposite of Follow logic
• Random — randomized direction each trade
• Buy Only / Sell Only — directional constraint modes

📊 5 Volume Progression Modes

• Left to Right, Win LTR, Loss LTR, Win LTR/Loss RTL, Loss LTR/Win RTL
