Today we’re releasing three new free Expert Advisors at once — the largest expansion of the SteadyPips suite so far. Until now our four EAs leaned heavily toward momentum: trends (SteadyPips, TripleAlign), breakouts (BreakWave), and ranges (GridMaster). The new trio deliberately fills the gaps, adding mean reversion, contrarian dip buying, and multi-timeframe trend confirmation.
Every EA passed the same internal quality gate before release: a 26-month backtest (January 2024 → March 2026, H1, spread modelled) requiring a profit factor above 1.3 with drawdown under 30% on at least two of three major pairs. We publish the per-pair numbers below — including the pairs that didn’t pass — because you should know where each EA is strong before attaching it to a chart.
SnapBack EA — Mean Reversion
SnapBack waits for price to close outside 3-standard-deviation Bollinger Bands — a statistically rare stretch — with RSI(14) confirming exhaustion, then fades the move back toward the mean. Both stop and target sit at 2.0× ATR, so the edge comes from a ~60% win rate rather than asymmetric targets. It holds one position at a time and never averages down.
| Pair | Trades | Profit Factor | Win Rate | Max DD |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| EURUSD | 76 | 1.60 | 60.5% | 0.2% |
| GBPUSD | 74 | 1.94 | 64.9% | 0.1% |
| USDJPY | 52 | 0.62 — did not pass | 38.5% | 0.5% |
Recommended pairs: EURUSD, GBPUSD. Learn more →

Get Free EAs →QuickPulse EA — Contrarian Dip Buying
QuickPulse triggers on the exact bar where a fast RSI(6) first crosses into washout territory (below 25 or above 75) and takes the other side with a deliberately lopsided trade: a tight 1.3× ATR stop against a 6× ATR target, both anchored to a slow ATR(50). Roughly two trades in three lose small; the winners are worth ~4.6 losers each.
| Pair | Trades | Profit Factor | Win Rate | Max DD |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| EURUSD | 318 | 1.44 | 32.7% | 0.3% |
| USDJPY | 373 | 1.35 | 31.1% | 0.6% |
| GBPUSD | 354 | 1.26 — did not pass | 31.1% | 0.4% |
All three pairs finished profitable, but only EURUSD and USDJPY cleared the 1.3 gate. Recommended pairs: EURUSD, USDJPY. Learn more →
DualHorizon EA — Multi-Timeframe Trend
DualHorizon only trades an H1 EMA(25/100) crossover when two more gates agree: ADX(12) confirms trend strength with the right +DI/−DI direction, and price sits on the correct side of the H4 EMA(50). Winners are held toward a 6× ATR target with a 1× ATR trailing stop underneath — fewer trades, bigger targets.
| Pair | Trades | Profit Factor | Win Rate | Max DD |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| EURUSD | 118 | 2.06 | 43.2% | 0.4% |
| USDJPY | 120 | 1.34 | 37.5% | 0.7% |
| GBPUSD | 143 | 0.93 — did not pass | 30.8% | 0.7% |
Recommended pairs: EURUSD, USDJPY. Learn more →
The Complete Suite: Seven EAs, Seven Market Behaviors
| EA | Strategy | Best Market |
|---|---|---|
| SteadyPips | EMA trend following | Established trends |
| GridMaster | Grid trading | Ranging markets |
| BreakWave | Bollinger squeeze breakout | Range-to-trend transitions |
| TripleAlign | Triple-EMA alignment | Strong confirmed trends |
| SnapBack | 3-sigma mean reversion | Overextended snaps |
| QuickPulse | Fast-RSI contrarian | Momentum washouts |
| DualHorizon | Multi-timeframe EMA cross | Trends with H4 agreement |
The new trio was designed to be complementary: SnapBack and QuickPulse tend to profit exactly when trend EAs sit flat or give back gains, and DualHorizon’s H4 gate keeps it out of the chop the others may trade through. Running a mix across different charts diversifies your exposure to market regimes — no single condition carries the whole account.
