Pipsgrowth.com EX01001 Adaptive EA — regime-switch dispatcher (Trend/Range/Breakout) with full 12-layer stack, configurable timeframe, trailing/BE/profit-lock toggles, pyramid gate, spread filter, new-bar gate. Works on any symbol/timeframe.

Overview

Pipsgrowth EX01001 Adaptive is a single-EA regime router that classifies market conditions on every closed bar and dispatches the trade to one of three internally coded sub-strategies. There is no fixed edge in the system — the EA's job is to detect what kind of market is in front of it and pick the sub-engine that historically has the right shape for that environment. The dispatcher is ClassifyRegime() in the source, and the three sub-engines are SignalTrendFollow(), SignalRSIMeanReversion(), and SignalBreakout(). The master function MasterSignal() then maps the regime to one of these sub-engines or returns 0 in choppy conditions.

Regime classification uses four inputs measured on the last closed bar: ADX(14), the ATR(14) percentile over a 50-bar lookback, the Bollinger Band width at 20-period/2.0 deviation, and the absolute separation between EMA(21) and EMA(50). Eight regime states are defined — NEUTRAL, STRONG_TREND, WEAK_TREND, RANGE, BREAKOUT, COMPRESS, EXPAND, CHOPPY — and each maps to a different signal pipeline. BREAKOUT requires ADX above 25, ATR percentile above 60, and price piercing the upper or lower Bollinger band. STRONG_TREND requires ADX above 25 with EMA separation greater than one ATR and ATR percentile above 50. RANGE is anything with ADX below 20. CHOPPY is the only state that is hard-rejected by NoTradeGate() before any signal evaluation.

SignalTrendFollow activates in strong and weak trends. The fresh EMA(21)/EMA(50) cross on the last two closed bars carries the highest confidence score of 75; it also requires close above the EMA(200) filter and RSI(14) between the neutral low (40) and the overbought line (70). Three continuation variants follow: pullback entries where the previous bar closed back through EMA(21) inside 0.5 ATR distance, momentum re-entries on a strong body bar with body/range above 60 percent, and RSI-acceleration scalps on bars with body-to-ATR above 0.8. All four variants demand EMA(200) side agreement and reject when RSI is in the opposite extreme.

SignalRSIMeanReversion runs in RANGE and COMPRESS regimes. The four patterns are: a classic oversold/overbought cross with close on the favorable side of EMA(21), an extreme RSI reading plus a strong reversal bar, a Bollinger band touch with RSI confirming in the same direction, and a Bollinger band bounce where the bar's wick pierced the band but the close returned inside. Confidence scores range from 55 to 65 — the mean-reversion engine is intentionally lower conviction than the trend engine because the bar is fighting the prevailing direction.

SignalBreakout handles BREAKOUT, EXPAND, and NEUTRAL regimes. The classic pattern closes beyond a 20-bar Donchian high or low with volume on the closed bar above 1.5 times the 50-bar average, HTF EMA agreement on the H4 timeframe, and RSI not in extreme territory. The secondary pattern allows entries within 10 percent of the Donchian range when volume is above average and HTF trend agrees. Both patterns require the higher-timeframe EMA(50) on H4 to be on the correct side of the close.

After a signal is generated, CheckConfirm() enforces three additional gates: HTF EMA agreement, minimum risk-to-reward ratio of 1.2 (the default 2.0 ATR SL and 4.0 ATR TP give 1:2), and a minimum ADX of 15 on the closed bar. The pyramid gate can be set to off, profit-only, or profit-plus-stop-protected. The NoTradeGate() function adds a long list of vetoes: market closed, off-session, spread above 50 points, spread anomaly above 3x the 30-bar rolling average, cooldown active after a loss, three consecutive losses (default), kill switch, total drawdown above 20 percent, max open positions, max daily trades, choppy regime, capital below floor, daily loss above 3 percent of effective capital, weekly loss above 9 percent.

Position sizing is risk-based at 0.5 percent of effective capital by default. The CalcLotByRisk() function reduces size by 25 percent for each consecutive loss, with a floor at 25 percent of the base risk. Commission cost per lot is included in the loss calculation. The minimum stop distance is forced to 3x current spread to prevent instant stop-outs during volatile opens. A capital cap (InpCapAmount) lets traders isolate this EA to a fixed notional slice of the account.

Trade management runs every tick through ManageExits(). Break-even activates after 1x ATR profit, ATR trailing after 1x ATR with a 0.8 step, and profit-lock every 1x ATR with the stop trailing 0.5 ATR behind price. A time-based exit closes positions older than 240 hours. A quick scalp variant exits on a configurable ATR profit threshold within a configurable number of hours. Partial close is supported at a configurable ratio of TP1.

The session filter is hard-coded for major-session hours: London 08:00 to 16:30 GMT, New York 13:00 to 21:00 GMT, and Asia 22:00 to 06:00 GMT is the default avoid-window. The broker GMT offset is auto-detected from the weekend gap in H1 bar data, which works in the Strategy Tester as well as on live servers, and can be overridden with InpServerGMTOffset for brokers that back-adjust clocks across DST transitions.

For the suggested XAUUSD H1 setup, the 1:2 R:R profile and the ATR-based stops mean realistic drawdown periods when the regime classifier is wrong — which is why the daily, weekly, and total drawdown kill switches exist. The EA does not pyramid by default and caps itself at 3 concurrent positions and 10 entries per day, so over-trading is not the main risk; regime misclassification is. The adaptive risk reduction on consecutive losses is the design's main answer to that, scaling lot size down before limits kick in.

Strategy Deep Dive

On every closed bar the EA refreshes 8 indicator buffers — EMA(21), EMA(50), EMA(200), RSI(14), ATR(14), ADX(14), Bollinger(20, 2.0), and HTF EMA(50) — and runs ClassifyRegime() to assign one of eight states. MasterSignal() then dispatches the bar to one of three sub-engines: trend regimes go to SignalTrendFollow(), range and compression to SignalRSIMeanReversion(), breakout/expansion/neutral to SignalBreakout(). Each sub-engine emits either +1, -1, or 0 with a confidence score, and CheckConfirm() enforces HTF-EMA agreement, a 1.2 minimum R:R, and a 15 minimum ADX. The NoTradeGate() function then layers in spread, session, cooldown, drawdown, daily-trade, and capital-floor vetoes before TryEntry() computes the lot from 0.5 percent of effective capital and sends the order. ManageExits() runs every tick to apply break-even at 1x ATR, trailing at 0.8 ATR steps, profit lock every 1x ATR, and the 240-hour time stop.

Entry Signal

Entries are routed by the live regime: in trend regimes the EA fires on a fresh EMA(21)/EMA(50) cross, a pullback to EMA(21), a momentum re-entry on a body-dominant bar, or an RSI-acceleration scalp — all with EMA(200) side agreement and HTF-EMA confirmation. In range and compression regimes it fires mean-reversion entries on RSI(14) oversold/overbought crosses, on Bollinger band touches with RSI confirming, and on band-bounce reversals. In breakout/expansion/neutral regimes it fires on Donchian(20) close-beyond with volume above 1.5x the 50-bar average and HTF trend agreement.

Exit Signal

Exits use a layered management stack: break-even activates after 1x ATR profit, ATR trailing after 1x ATR with a 0.8 step, profit-lock every 1x ATR trailing 0.5 ATR behind price, and a hard time-stop at 240 hours. A configurable quick-scalp mode closes positions on a small ATR profit threshold within a configurable number of hours. Regime reversal to CHOPPY is not a direct exit trigger, but the choppy filter blocks new entries and existing positions fall to the management layer.

Stop Loss

Initial stop is 2.0x ATR(14) by default, forced to a minimum of 3x current spread to prevent stop-outs from spread spikes. The risk-based lot sizing uses this exact distance: each 0.5 percent of effective capital at risk. A total drawdown kill switch at 20 percent of starting balance halts all trading.

Take Profit

Initial take profit is 4.0x ATR(14), producing a 1:2 risk-to-reward ratio against the 2.0x ATR stop. A minimum R:R of 1.2 is enforced in the confirm layer; settings that produce a worse ratio are rejected before any order is sent.

Best For

Minimum recommended balance: $100 with conservative lot sizing on XAUUSD H1, larger balances unlock the full adaptive risk scaling. A low-spread broker is essential — the 50-point spread cap and 3x spread minimum-stop will reject most signals on wide-spread ECN accounts. Best sessions are London 08:00–16:30 GMT and New York 13:00–21:00 GMT; the default config avoids Asia 22:00–06:00 GMT. This is a hands-off, multi-regime EA that needs at least 6 months of forward testing on the target symbol before any live deployment.
