Beacon

A single-position AUD/CAD counter-trend EA that fades RSI extremes in both directions — many small wins, a hard stop on every trade.

When the 15-minute RSI(13) sinks below 29, it buys the overshoot; when it climbs above 75, it sells it. One position at a time, a 100-pip target against a 114-pip stop, and a 34-pip trailing stop that locks in profit as the snap-back plays out.

Strategy logic

How Beacon Trades

A mean-reversion EA that fades RSI(13) extremes on AUD/CAD M15 in both directions — buying below 29, selling above 75 — and manages one fixed-lot position at a time with a 114-pip stop, a 100-pip target and a 34-pip trailing stop.

01 Market

When it trades

AUD/CAD, Around The Clock

There is no session or time filter — any closed M15 bar can qualify. What gates the EA is the oscillator itself: it only acts when RSI(13) reaches a genuine extreme, which on this cross happens a handful of times a month.

02 Setup

What it looks for

RSI(13) At An Extreme

The 15-minute RSI(13) must close below 29 (oversold) or above 75 (overbought). All readings are taken on closed bars, so the signal cannot repaint.

03 Entry

How it enters

Fade The Overshoot

One market order against the extreme — a buy at the ask below 29, a sell at the bid above 75 — at most one entry per closed bar, and never while another position is open.

04 Risk

How it protects

Fixed 114-Pip Stop

A 114-pip stop-loss is attached to the order when it is sent. It is deliberately wider than the target: the strategy gives the snap-back room to develop, and accepts a larger loss on the rare occasions it never does.

05 Exit

How it exits

Trailing Stop Or 100-Pip Target

Once a trade is 34 pips ahead, the stop starts following price at that distance in 1-pip steps — most winners are banked this way. Trades that keep running close at the fixed 100-pip target.

Market behavior

Performs best in

  • Range-bound and gently drifting phases, where an RSI extreme marks a short-term overshoot that snaps back within hours

Can struggle in

  • Strong breakouts and one-way trends — RSI stays pinned while price keeps going, and the wide stop is eventually hit
  • Sudden news moves that blow through the extreme, where the fill lands mid-move instead of at the exhaustion point

All published inputs

  • Magic numberMagicNumber
    Default
    893520
    Suggested range

    The ID the EA stamps on its own orders so it never touches positions it did not open. Change it only if another EA on the same account happens to use the same number.

  • Max slippageSlippage
    Default
    3
    Suggested range

    How far (in pips) a market order may fill from the requested price before it is rejected. 3 pips is a working default for AUD/CAD; it does not affect the backtest.

  • One entry per barOncePerBar
    Default
    true
    Suggested range

    The setup is evaluated once per closed M15 bar. The published record was measured this way; turning it off changes the strategy.

  • RSI periodRSI_Period_n2
    Default
    13
    Suggested range

    The RSI lookback the whole strategy reads. The 29 / 75 entry thresholds are built into the strategy around this exact period — a different lookback is a different EA.

  • RSI applied priceRSI_Price_n2
    Default
    0
    Suggested range

    0 = close price, the measured setting.

  • Lot sizeLotSize
    Default
    0.1
    Suggested range
    0.1 per $10,000 of balance

    Fixed lot per trade. The published record is 0.1 lot on a $10,000 balance; scaling both together keeps the drawdown percentage the same.

  • Buy stop lossSL_Pips_n7
    Default
    114
    Suggested range

    A 114-pip stop is attached to every buy order when it is sent. It is wider than the 100-pip target on purpose — the strategy wins often and small, and this stop is the price of that shape.

  • Buy take profitTP_Pips_n7
    Default
    100
    Suggested range

    The fixed 100-pip target for buy trades. Most positions close here or on the trailing stop well before the full target.

  • Sell stop lossSL_Pips_n8
    Default
    114
    Suggested range

    The mirrored 114-pip stop for sell trades — the two sides of the strategy are symmetric.

  • Sell take profitTP_Pips_n8
    Default
    100
    Suggested range

    The mirrored 100-pip target for sell trades.

  • Max positionsMaxPositions_n5
    Default
    1
    Suggested range

    One position at a time. The EA does not add, stack or average down — a new RSI extreme while a position is open is ignored.

  • Trailing stopTrailPips_trail1
    Default
    34
    Suggested range

    Once a position is 34 pips in profit, the stop starts following price at that distance. This is how most winners are banked before the full 100-pip target.

  • Trailing stepTrailStep_trail1
    Default
    1
    Suggested range

    The stop is only moved when it can improve by at least 1 pip, keeping modifications small and frequent — the measured setting.

Frequently asked questions

Is Beacon a martingale or grid EA?
No. It opens one position at a time with a fixed lot, a fixed 114-pip stop and a fixed 100-pip target. There is no averaging down, no grid, no recovery trade and no lot progression of any kind.
How was it tested?
On Exness MT5 AUD/CAD history in the MetaTrader 5 strategy tester, on the "every tick" model generated from M1 bars, from 2019-01-01 to 2026-08-09 with 0.1 lot on a $10,000 balance. The tester reported the history quality of that run as 72% — lower than our other products, and explained in its own question below. The published backtest is the part of that run that ends at the 2026-04-01 cutoff; what the same build did after that date is shown separately as the verification window, so the two never share a trade. Every closed trade is published on this page and downloadable as CSV.
Why is the history quality 72% when other products on this site show 99-100%?
The tester's history-quality figure measures how much of the run could be modelled from the finest data available on the feed. AUD/CAD is a cross pair, and the Exness M1 history it is measured on is thinner than what the majors carry, so the tester reports 72% for this run. We publish the number exactly as the original report printed it — the report is downloadable on this page — rather than re-measuring on a different feed to show a prettier figure. It means the tick-level modelling carries more approximation than on our USD/JPY products, and you should weigh the record with that in mind.
Does the backtest include swap?
Yes. The per-deal swap from the broker's contract specification is included in the published profit figures, and the trade ledger carries it per trade.
Why is the stop wider than the target?
That is the deliberate shape of a high-win-rate reversion strategy. The trailing stop banks most winners early, wins come far more often than losses, and the wide stop gives the snap-back room to develop. The cost is that the occasional loss is bigger than a typical win — the profit factor and drawdown on this page already include those losses.
Does it trade at particular hours?
No. There is no time or session filter. A qualifying RSI extreme on any closed M15 bar can open a trade, day or night.
