What it is

A counter-trend mean-reversion Expert Advisor designed to produce steady monthly returns under conservative risk. Built for traders who prioritize capital protection (including funding account rules) and prefer transparent, testable logic.

How it trades

• Entry logic: Sells/buys short-term overextensions back to the mean after trend stretches; filters include volatility bands and spread control.

Transparency & risk disclosure

This EA uses a controlled martingale. While presets are conservative, this approach can produce periods of elevated floating drawdown and is not suitable for building a “never-reset” long-term track record. The live signal is provided for ongoing transparency but may be restarted or paused when risk limits are reached. Test on demo first and size positions responsibly.
