Proffessor v3
Proffessor v3 is a trend-following expert advisor that uses moving average crossovers combined with momentum indicators to identify and trade trend direction. The EA enters positions when fast and slow moving averages cross and momentum confirms the trend, applying trailing stops for trade management. It is designed for medium-term trading on major currency pairs.

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 based on a dual moving average crossover system, using golden cross and death cross of fast and slow moving averages to determine trend direction. Entry conditions require that the MA crossover signal aligns with momentum indicators (such as MACD or RSI), creating a dual confirmation mechanism to reduce false signals. Exit conditions include trailing stop activation, opposite MA crossover signal appearance, or fixed stop-loss/take-profit levels being reached. Position sizing uses fixed lots or account-balance-proportional sizing, allowing users to customize risk parameters. Money management includes stop-loss settings to control per-trade losses, but lacks overall account risk control and maximum drawdown limits. Overall, the strategy logic is classic and suitable for trending markets, but may generate frequent false-signal losses in ranging conditions.
Strengths
- Dual confirmation mechanism (MA crossover + momentum) reduces false signals
- Trailing stop feature locks in floating profits and lets winners run
- Highly configurable parameters allow optimization for different market conditions
- Classic strategy logic is easy to understand and backtest
Weaknesses
- MA crossovers generate frequent false signals in ranging markets leading to consecutive losses
- Lacks account-level money management controls such as maximum drawdown limits
- No new bar check mechanism, potentially opening duplicate positions on the same bar
- Missing spread filter, stop-losses may be triggered prematurely in high-spread environments
Possible improvements
- Add ADX or volatility filter to avoid trading in ranging markets
- Implement new bar check to prevent duplicate position opening on the same bar
- Add account-level risk controls such as maximum drawdown and daily loss limits
- Add spread and slippage filters to improve entry quality
Risk assessment
Overall risk: Medium
- No new bar check may cause duplicate positions on the same bar
- No account-level maximum drawdown control
- Frequent false signals in ranging markets can cause consecutive losses
- Fixed stop-loss does not account for market volatility changes
