Overview
RCI Ribbon EA is a trend-alignment Expert Advisor built around three Rank Correlation Index (RCI) lines of different lengths (fast, mid, slow). It enters a trade only when all three RCI lines align beyond a configurable threshold, confirming trend agreement across multiple timeframes of momentum before taking a position.
How it works
- On each new closed bar, the EA calculates RCI for three separate periods (fast, mid, slow).
- A bullish signal requires all three RCI values above the alignment threshold; a bearish signal requires all three below the negative threshold.
- Entry uses a market order once the ribbon is confirmed aligned.
- Exit is selectable: fixed ATR-based Take Profit/Stop Loss, an ATR trailing stop, or a signal-based exit that closes the position when the ribbon flips or loses alignment.
- A built-in dashboard shows live alignment status of the three RCI lines, live drawdown, max drawdown, and net profit of the EA's own trades.

Optimizer scoring system
RCI Ribbon EA includes a custom scoring formula that ranks optimization runs by equity curve quality rather than raw profit alone. It rewards a smooth, steadily rising equity curve (R2 and slope), efficient use of drawdown (MAR ratio) and a reasonable number of trades, while penalizing runs that depend on a single outsized trade, runs whose performance shifts between the first and second half of the test, and runs with deep or long-lasting drawdowns. Set the Optimizer Criterion to Custom max to activate this scoring.
