【The biggest feature is capital management】
ESCADA is not a simple interest EA; it uses compounding by sizing lots based on the loss percentage.
With parameter value “RISK” = 1, the maximum loss per position is 1% of account funds, and the lot size is managed accordingly.
Since one EA can hold up to 2 positions, if all 8 currencies are used, the maximum drawdown would be roughly 16%–20%.
Then you might be most curious about how much return you can expect from that loss, so:
We analyzed it based on backtest data!
【Portfolio Analysis】
Note: In fact, AUDJPY backtest data was not available on the official site, so the portfolio uses 7 currencies.

【Performance by Currency】
PF (profit factor) ranking: USDJPY, EURJPY, EURUSD
Largest profits: USDJPY, GBPJPY, EURJPY, USDCAD
Lowest max drawdown: EURUSD, USDCHF, GBPUSD
Best win rate: EURJPY, USDJPY, GBPJPY
This is how it stands
USDJPY, EURJPY, and GBPJPY are currency pairs you would definitely want in your main lineup!
Also, this is based on 15 years of backtest results, so it’s a bit disappointing that a simple annual return projection isn’t available.
However, one thing we can say is「The loss percentage can be determined from the start」That’s right!
The loss percentage is fixed, and returns will vary depending on the number of traded currency pairs and the year’s market conditions.
For reference, profits by currency pair.
Result for RISK 1 on a 1,000,000 yen account (excluding AUDJPY)
For 7 currencies, maximum drawdown risk is just under 170,000 yen.
Achieved +100% in 4 years of operation, and +230% by year 7.
Risk 2 (maximum drawdown 340,000 yen) is expected to aim for +100% in about two years!
You can operate all currency pairs simultaneously, or mix and match your preferred pairs to manage RISK.
ESCADA is a safe, long-term EA that reliably aims for profits!
