CyberiaTrader
CyberiaTrader is a momentum-based Expert Advisor that identifies rapid price movements and enters trades in the direction of momentum spikes. It uses a proprietary calculation method to detect abnormal price action velocity and executes market orders with fixed take-profit and stop-loss levels. The EA is designed for high-frequency trading on M1-M15 timeframes with aggressive entry timing.

Why this EA never traded: no entry rule survived the conversion.
Converted from MQL5 to Python and run with the same rules for every EA. Positions use MT5 lot sizes (100,000 units per FX lot, 100 oz per gold lot) with 1:100 leverage, one order at a time, and a stop-out below 10% of the starting balance. Sharpe is computed from the equity curve. Results marked as unreliable are shown for completeness only.
Blow-up risk: No blow-up pattern found
None of the usual blow-up patterns were found in the code, and the account was not stopped out in our backtests. That is not a guarantee: any EA can lose money.
High: stopped out in our backtest, or martingale/grid sizing without a stop loss. Elevated: martingale or grid sizing with a stop loss, or several positions at once without a stop loss. What the label means and what we found →
Strategy analysis
The core concept of CyberiaTrader is detecting price acceleration and momentum anomalies, entering trades when price moves abnormally fast in a direction, assuming the momentum will continue. Entry conditions are generated when price velocity exceeds a dynamic threshold calculated from historical price data; buy signals occur on upward acceleration and sell signals on downward acceleration. Exit conditions use fixed pip take-profit and stop-loss levels, with additional option to close on reverse momentum signals. Position sizing uses fixed lots by default, with some versions supporting balance-proportional lot calculation. Money management relies on fixed stop-losses which may not adapt well to changing volatility, and the absence of a trailing stop means profits can evaporate during momentum reversals; slippage during high-volatility entries is also a significant concern.
Strengths
- Unique momentum detection algorithm that captures the onset of sudden market moves
- Fast entry execution with high sensitivity to short-term momentum explosions
- Relatively simple parameter set makes configuration straightforward for users
Weaknesses
- Lack of effective trailing stop mechanism means winning trades often give back profits on retracements
Possible improvements
- Add ATR-based adaptive TP/SL that dynamically adjusts based on market volatility
- Implement a trend filter (e.g., EMA or ADX) to avoid excessive trading in ranging markets
Risk assessment
Overall risk: Caution
- High-frequency momentum trading on M1/M15 suffers severe slippage when spreads widen
- Fixed stop-loss can be gap-through during extreme volatility events
- No maximum consecutive loss limit or daily drawdown cap for account protection
