Mean-Reversion EA Settings for Forex and Trade Risk Controls

Article MQL5 code base

Summary

This page describes a configurable expert advisor presented for mean-reversion trading, with a stated preference for major forex pairs on daily charts. It lists settings for trade size, moving averages, fractal counts, stop loss, take profit, maximum trades, and optional trailing stops or break-even adjustments. It also describes basket-level profit and loss thresholds, equity risk controls, and an option to increase position size after losing trades.

The page gives configuration ranges and advises testing the system on a demo account and periodically optimizing its inputs. It offers no entry and exit rules beyond the broad mean-reversion label, and provides no backtest results, market data, or evidence for the suggested settings. Some controls are presented as optional protocols, while the advice to reuse fixed inputs sits uneasily beside periodic optimization. The material is therefore a settings overview rather than a validated strategy specification.
