Auto Trap Trader (AUDCAD)

This EA is designed and developed with the goal of continuously increasing the balance without breaking down. Its features combine the characteristics of repeat-type EAs and averaging down EAs, making it a hybrid EA. AUDCAD is a currency pair where both currencies are resource-based, exhibiting relatively mild price movements, and I believe it is suitable for risk diversification outside of major currency pairs, making it easy to incorporate into a portfolio.I have designed and created it with this in mind. (Recently, in April 2025, I saw reports of the AUDCAD EA breaking down on social media, but I have been operating this EA myself and it has smoothly overcome the situation without any updates to the drawdown in backtesting.)

The Auto Trap Trader AUDCAD aims to enhance stability and low risk of repeat-type trading by not only focusing on entry timing but also increasing the advantage at the trading rate, while targeting high profitability. As a feature, by selecting long or short entries based on specified rates, it allows for short positions when the rate is excessively high and long positions when the rate is excessively low, thereby increasing the advantage. After entry, if the price moves against by a certain range, it will hold additional positions, making it easier to realize profits by lowering the average purchase price (profit-taking is done at specified pips from the breakeven point). The acquisition range for additional positions (averaging down range) and the averaging down multiplier are set with optimized values as initial settings, but you can also change them yourself, allowing for your preferred optimization.
