⚠ Averaging-Down (with SL) Category
- Matched to the characteristics of EURGBP (historically the narrowest-range, most mean-reverting currency), it is designed with a small 0.02 lot, a hard SL ($-2,000), and no compounding
- Max DD 9.7% = the lowest risk among averaging-down EAs. The equity curve's linear correlation of 0.98 = almost a straight upward line
- Due to the nature of averaging-down, the risk of loss on a forced stop-out remains. Daily withdrawal recommended, on a separate account, with surplus funds
New EA · EURGBP-specific optimization (no compounding + stop-loss + mean reversion)
EURGBP PEACE EA
EURGBP M5 mean-reversion averaging-down (+2.6%/yr / 9-yr live)
On EURGBP, which has a narrow range and reverts easily, it applies a small lot matched to volatility + a hard SL + a fixed lot (no compounding) — an averaging-down EA.It overcomes the weakness that "averaging-down blows up" through stop-losses and lot restraint.In 9 years of live MT5 (2017-2025), PF 2.18 / max DD 9.7% / 0 blowups — it proved a steady uptrend.

* Live MT5 measurements. PF>1.4 in both the IS and OOS periods, and changing the lot, number of levels, or SL all yields around PF 1.9 (a plateau) = not over-optimized. Win rate 78.65%, recovery factor 2.40.

Run Mode
The "RunMode" setting switches how aggressively the EA trades. On EAs whose chart panel has run-mode buttons, you can also switch with one click (applies from the next new entry). Only the lot (risk) changes — entry/exit logic, symbol and timeframe stay the same.
Defensive
×0.5Half the Standard lot. For capital preservation or first-time automated trading.
Standard (recommended)
×1.0The reference risk level. Start here.
Aggressive
×2.0Twice the Standard lot. Drawdowns deepen and the risk of ruin rises. Use only money you can afford to lose.
Per-mode backtests for this EA have not been measured. We do not publish figures estimated from Standard.
Past performance does not guarantee future results. With compounding on, lots adjust automatically to the balance.
