✅ Live "MT5 backtest" values, not Python BT
This EA's figures are live measurements from the MT5 Strategy Tester (BTCUSDm H4 / Model = every tick / initial $10,000 / 2018.01-2025.12).The development-time Python simulation value (+146%) contained a bug in the Donchian breakout detection (it compared the signal bar to itself, producing 0 trades live). We fixed that bug, re-verified live, and publish the finalized figures.
⚡ Minimum deposit: from 100k JPY (Standard or Micro account, either is fine)
You can operate from 100k JPY. If you want to run it more safely with a smaller amount, we recommend a Micro (cent) account (the real exposure of a 0.01 lot becomes about 1/100, making the same 100k JPY far lower-risk). Since BTC is highly volatile, running it on a Micro account is especially safe.
🚀 BITCOIN COMET EA
A BTCUSD-only bidirectional trend-follower. It confirms breakouts of the Donchian channel (20 bars) with an ATR×0.5 margin and trades only in the direction of the SMA200 slope. Profits are extended via an ATR×4 trailing stop. BTC tends to form sustained trends in both bull and bear markets, so it captures both directions. One risk per trade (clear stop-loss); lot is derived from tickValue.

STRATEGY
📊 Strategy Logic
1. Donchian Breakout
A closed bar breaks the high/low of the last 20 bars (H4) (buy: above the high / sell: below the low)
2. Breakout Confirmation Margin
Breakout width of ATR×0.5 or more = excludes false wick breakouts
3. Trend Strength Filter
Trade only with the SMA200 slope (up = buy only / down = sell only) → suppresses range whipsaws
4. ATR Trailing
Extends unrealized profit via an ATR×4 trailing stop. No fixed TP = captures big moves in full
5. Lot Management
Risk = balance × RiskPercent% / lot = Risk / SL distance. Default risk 2% (recommended)
REAL MT5 BACKTEST
📈 Live MT5 BT Measured (BTCUSDm H4 / every tick / $10,000)
| Metric | Measured (risk2 default) | Assessment |
|---|---|---|
| Verification Period | 2018.01 – 2025.12 (8.0yr) | Near BTC's entire history; passes all regimes |
| Net Profit / Cumulative | +$370,070 (+3,700%) | $10,000 → $380,070 |
| Profit Factor | 2.19 | Clears the flagship standard (PF≥1.5) |
| Max Balance DD | 6.35% | Clears the flagship standard (DD≤15%) |
| Trades / Win Rate | 128trades / 46.1% | Trend types have a low win rate, with big wins and small losses |
| Sharpe Ratio | 3.19 | Good |
OOS / ROBUSTNESS
⚙️ OOS Robustness & Risk Settings (live measured)
| Category | PF | Balance DD | Cumulative | Note |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Default (risk2 / BreakMargin 1.2) | 2.19 | 18.2% | +3,700% | Recommended, best balance |
| First half 2018-2022 | 3.71 | 3.7% | +111% | Not period-dependent |
| Second half 2022-2026 | 2.13 | 7.2% | +115% | PF ≥ 2.1 in both halves |
Adopted ATRMult 5→4 in the 2026-06-05 PDCA (both OOS halves robust at PF 1.78-2.02 = not over-optimized). The aggressive version increases DD via pyramiding (DD 56% at risk10); operate only with surplus funds.
⚠️ Risk Warning
- The return depends on the 2018-2025 BTC bull market (about 40x). Future replication is not guaranteed
- BTC is a high-volatility asset that moves 5-10% per day. Win rate 36% = the type that takes many small stop-losses to capture a big win
- Cryptocurrencies carry regulatory risk (trading bans in various countries, etc.)
- The aggressive version (high risk) has DD 23-56%. Manage capital strictly and run one strategy per account
How the strategy works (entry, stop, target)
On BTCUSD H4, it follows confirmed Donchian-channel breakouts and rides medium-term trends with an ATR trailing stop — a pure trend-following system.
Run Mode (Defensive / Standard / Aggressive)
Every EA exposes a "RunMode" dropdown that switches aggressiveness across three levels. It only multiplies the lot (risk) — entry/exit logic, symbol and timeframe never change.
Defensive
×0.5Half of standard risk. Both max drawdown and expected return are roughly halved. For capital preservation or first-time automated trading.
Standard (recommended)
×1.0The backtest figures shown on this page use this setting. Start here.
Aggressive
×2.0Double the standard risk. Return and max drawdown roughly double, raising the risk of ruin. Use only with money you can afford to lose.
Approximations relative to Standard (Defensive ≈ 0.5x / Aggressive ≈ 2x). Drawdown does not scale linearly; in sharp markets Aggressive can exceed this estimate. Lots auto-adjust to balance when compounding is on.
