Thunderhead

One pair, four facets — four small mean-reversion strategies reading EURGBP through different lenses, combined in one EA.

Each facet waits for EURGBP to stretch too far by its own measure, then trades the snap-back with a fixed stop. The facets fire at different times, so the portfolio earns from many small reversals rather than one big bet.

Strategy logic

How Thunderhead Trades

Trades EURGBP H1 mean reversion with four independent facets — two oscillator-based, two RSI-based — each holding at most one fixed-lot position with a hard stop.

01 Market

When it trades

A quiet cross that stretches and snaps back

EURGBP spends most of its time in broad ranges. On every new H1 bar the EA measures how far price has stretched from its recent balance — by four different yardsticks at once.

02 Setup

What it looks for

Four independent overextension checks

Two facets watch a volatility-adjusted momentum oscillator and two watch RSI, each with its own periods and thresholds; one facet additionally stands aside on Mondays. A facet arms itself only when its own indicator reads an extreme.

03 Entry

How it enters

Fade the stretch, one position per facet

When a facet's indicator signals the snap-back, that facet opens a single fixed-lot position against the stretch. Facets never touch each other's trades — each has its own magic number.

04 Risk

How it protects

A hard stop on every position

Every position carries a fixed stop-loss from the moment it opens. With the shipped preset each facet trades 0.10 lots, and at most four positions — one per facet — can be open at once.

05 Exit

How it exits

Fixed target, trailing stop or hard stop

Three facets close at a fixed take-profit or their stop; one RSI facet manages its exit with a trailing stop instead. No facet ever widens a stop or adds to a losing position.

Risk architecture

Position limit
One position per facet — at most four positions in total
Position sizing
Fixed lots per facet (0.10 in the shipped preset); size never grows after a loss
Recovery method
None — no grid, no martingale, no averaging down
Protective exit
Fixed stop-loss attached to every position from entry

Market behavior

Performs best in

  • Ranging, mean-reverting EURGBP phases
  • Months with frequent small overextensions and snap-backs

Can struggle in

  • Persistent one-way EURGBP trends
  • Event-driven moves that run through the stops without pausing

    Oscillator setting of the mean-reversion entry of facet 0, fixed at the measured value. It reproduces the published record; changing it makes this a different, unmeasured strategy.

Install Thunderhead on MetaTrader 5 using the published configuration.

  1. Step 01 — Download the files

    Get the EA file and the published preset used for testing and forward tracking.

    • .ex5
    • .set
    • .pdf
    • Preset included
  2. Step 02 — Attach it to the correct chart

    Open EUR/GBP on H1 in MetaTrader 5, then attach Thunderhead to a single chart.

    • EUR/GBP
    • H1
    • One chart only
  3. Step 03 — Load the published settings

Frequently asked questions

Is this a martingale or grid EA?
No. Each of the four facets holds at most one fixed-lot position with a hard stop-loss, and position size never grows after a loss. The optional portfolio limits can only reduce exposure, never add to it.
How were the published numbers produced?
From a single MetaTrader 5 strategy-tester run over Exness M1 history (every tick, Model 0) using exactly the shipped preset. The full trade ledger is downloadable on this page, split at the 2025-12-01 cutoff into the backtest section and the verification section.
Do the results include swap and commission?
Swap is taken from the broker's history and included in every ledger row and every headline figure. Commission is zero on the account type used for the measurement — on commission-based accounts your net results will differ accordingly.
Why four strategies on one pair instead of one strategy on four pairs?
Cross-pair baskets tend to fall together in risk-off moves. The four facets read the same pair through different indicators and settings, so their trades overlap far less than four copies of one strategy would — the drawdown of the combined record stays close to a single facet's, not four times it.
