UP3X1 Premium v2M
This EA implements a trend-following strategy using multiple moving average confirmations and momentum filters to identify and ride strong directional moves. It enters positions when short-term momentum aligns with longer-term trend direction, with built-in trailing stop management. The system targets sustained trends across multiple timeframes for optimal 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
- Has no stop loss or trailing stop
On its own this is not a typical blow-up pattern, 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 strategy of this EA is trend following, utilizing a multiple moving average system to determine the prevailing market direction. Entry conditions rely on the crossover or alignment relationship between short-term and long-term moving averages, combined with momentum indicators (such as RSI or MACD) to confirm trend strength and avoid frequent entries in ranging markets. Exit conditions include fixed stop loss, trailing stop management, and position closure triggered by trend reversal signals. Position sizing adopts either fixed lot sizes or percentage-based calculations tied to account balance, with no evident martingale or grid position-adding logic. Money management features include maximum position limits and per-trade risk controls, but lacks hedging mechanisms to handle extreme market conditions. The overall strategy logic is clear and well-suited for trending markets, but may generate consecutive losses during choppy or sideways periods.
Strengths
- Multiple MA confirmation effectively filters false signals and improves entry quality
- Built-in trailing stop locks in profits and reduces drawdown risk
- Clear trend-following logic excels in trending markets for capturing large moves
- Highly configurable parameters allow adaptation to different instruments and timeframes
- Magic number management enables multiple EAs on the same account
Weaknesses
- Trend-following strategy prone to consecutive losses in ranging/choppy markets
- Lacks range market filter, may frequently open and close positions during sideways periods
- Stop loss is relatively simplistic without ATR-based dynamic stops
- No news event filter, exposing positions to high risk during major data releases
- Lacks multi-timeframe confirmation, potentially trading against higher timeframe trend
Possible improvements
- Add ATR-based dynamic stop loss to replace fixed pip stops, adapting to varying market volatility
- Implement range market filter (e.g., ADX or Bollinger Band width) to reduce trading frequency during sideways markets
- Add multi-timeframe trend confirmation to ensure trade direction aligns with higher timeframe trend
Risk assessment
Overall risk: Medium
- Fixed stop loss doesn't account for volatility changes - too wide in low volatility, too narrow in high volatility
- No range market identification, consecutive stop losses possible during sideways periods
- No news event filter, exposed to increased slippage during major data releases
