Chrysalis

Built for the weeks everything moves at once - and silent the rest of the time.

The envelope is set so wide that ordinary volatility never reaches it. Nearly six in ten of the trades in this record happened in just three months - September and October 2022, and August 2024 - and 2021 produced none at all. That concentration is the strategy, not a flaw in it.

Strategy logic

How Chrysalis Trades

Nine envelope legs on one GBP/JPY H1 chart, set wide enough that they only act on unusual moves, sharing a ceiling of seven open positions.

01 Market

When it trades

GBP/JPY, when it dislocates

The hourly chart of a pair known for outsized moves. The EA is not trying to trade the pair day to day - it is waiting for the moments when it detaches from its own average.

02 Setup

What it looks for

An envelope set deliberately wide

Each leg reads an envelope 2.8 to 3.0 percent from its centre line, over 100 to 110 bars. Ordinary weeks never reach it, which is why the EA is silent most of the time.

03 Entry

How it enters

Several legs, one move

Because the legs read similar envelopes at slightly different settings, a move large enough to trigger one usually triggers others. Seven positions at once was reached during the test.

04 Risk

How it protects

Eighty pips per leg, seven legs deep

Every leg risks a fixed 80 pips. With seven open at once that is the largest simultaneous exposure of anything in the catalogue, and it is the reason the two drawdown figures differ.

05 Exit

How it exits

Quick, then out

Targets of 80 to 160 pips, with trailing stops on several legs and a break-even move at 48 pips on two of them. The median position lasts about an hour - when the snap-back comes it comes fast.

Risk architecture

Position limit
One per leg, seven across the whole EA
Position sizing
Fixed lot per leg - it does not scale with the balance
Recovery method
None - no averaging down, no grid, no martingale
Protective exit
A fixed 80-pip stop on every order, trailing stops on several legs, and a break-even move at 48 pips on two

Market behavior

Performs best in

  • Dislocations where price runs far from its own average and then snaps back
  • High-volatility episodes on GBP/JPY specifically - September 2022 and August 2024 produced the bulk of this record

Can struggle in

  • Ordinary conditions, which is most of the time - 2021 produced no trades at all
  • A dislocation that keeps going instead of snapping back, since several legs will be fading it together

    Default
    7
    Suggested range

    ★ The ceiling across all nine legs, and the largest in the catalogue. 7 was the measured setting and it was actually reached during the test - when this EA fires, it usually fires several legs at once. Raising it was also measured: 8 gives 110.5 trades a year at -18.19% drawdown, 9 gives 118.9 at -19.79%. Both pass our gate; 7 is what this record is.

Frequently asked questions

Is this a martingale or a grid?
No. Every leg sends a fixed lot, holds at most one position, and never adds to a losing trade. Several legs can open at once, but each opens once and each carries its own stop.
How was it verified?
In the MetaTrader 5 strategy tester on real ticks (Model 4) over 2019-01-01 to 2026-07-01, with a history quality of 100%. The published backtest is the part up to 2026-04-01.
Why are the trades so unevenly spread?
Because the envelope is set wide on purpose. Of the 693 trades in the published backtest, 152 came in September 2022, 94 in October 2022 and 145 in August 2024 - nearly six in ten from three months. 2021 produced none, and 2025 produced four. This EA is built for dislocations, and it does nothing while there are none.
How many trades are in the verification window?
Ten, through 2026-08-03. The window runs from 2026-04-01 and the EA found ten setups in it, closing at -$68.36 (-0.47%). Eight of the ten were winners, but the two losers were larger, so the window is negative overall. That is consistent with how selective the EA is - but it does mean the verification window is still too small to tell you much on its own, and the published backtest is what the case rests on.
Does the published record include swap?
Yes, and it is small: 47 of the 1,407 deal rows carry a non-zero Swap value, all negative, totalling -$76.84. This is the least swap-exposed build in the catalogue because the median position lasts about an hour and only 13% cross a date change.
