Brent Structure Patterns

Brent Structure Patterns is a MetaTrader 5 Expert Advisor developed specifically for Brent crude oil trading.

The EA combines four distinct long-side trading setups based on price structure, volatility, breakouts and moving-average expansion. Each setup operates independently with its own entry conditions and predefined exit horizon.

The system evaluates completed candles and does not rely on fixed trading hours or session-based signals.

Trading Strategies

S1 — Volatility Continuation (H1)

Identifies strong bullish volatility expansions and seeks subsequent price continuation.

S2 — Compression Breakout (H1)

Detects periods of narrowing price ranges followed by a confirmed upward breakout.

S3 — Lower-Range Reaction (H1)

Identifies bullish reactions when price reaches the lower area of a broader historical trading range.

S5 — EMA Expansion (M15)

Detects the expansion of bullish moving-average separation after a period of compression.

The four strategies work together within a single Expert Advisor.

Historical Backtest

Reference MetaTrader 5 Strategy Tester results:

• Instrument: Brent crude oil

• Period: January 2020 – September 18, 2026

• Modeling: Real ticks, 99% historical quality

• Initial deposit: EUR 5,000

• Fixed volume: 0.03 lots per entry

• Total closed trades: 1,745

• Profit Factor: 1.613

• Win Rate: 60.40%

• Maximum Relative Equity Drawdown: 10.33%

These figures were obtained from a historical backtest of the original strategy implementation, not from live trading. They do not establish the performance of the later commercial execution update.

Historical results depend materially on overnight financing. Approximately 59.8% of the historical net result came from positive swaps. Excluding swaps, the reconstructed historical Profit Factor was approximately 1.214.

Swap rates, spreads, execution costs and contract specifications may vary substantially between brokers.

Trading and Position Management

The EA uses fixed-lot position sizing and supports up to four simultaneous positions, with a maximum of one position per strategy by default.

Normal exits are based on completed trading bars:

• S1: 15 H1 bars

• S2: 18 H1 bars

• S3: 18 H1 bars

• S5: 52 M15 bars

The EA does not use martingale, grid averaging or recovery position sizing.

Important: the EA does not place protective Stop Loss or Take Profit orders. Positions are normally closed according to the strategy's bar-count exit rules. Market gaps, sharp adverse moves, execution failures or platform disconnections may result in substantial losses.
