Overpaying for EAs that look epic in backtests but melt down live? Same. LBR Holy Grail EA V3.0 MT4 was built to dodge that trap with a simple, durable idea: trade only when trend strength is real (ADX) and time entries on clean pullbacks to a moving average—the classic “holy grail” concept traders love. We wrapped it in rule-first risk controls, no martingale, and a prop-friendly mode that respects daily loss limits. Oh, and it’s 100% free on MQL5.software… coz good tools shouldn’t be behind a paywall.

Quick vibe-check: this EA is not a grid monster and not a one-click money printer. It’s a disciplined execution engine inspired by the famous ADX+EMA pullback approach. If momentum’s legit, it enters; if price is weak or choppy, it waits. Simple. Fast. Boring—in the best way possible.

Overview

LBR Holy Grail EA V3.0 MT4 is a free MetaTrader 4 expert advisor that hunts structured trend pullbacks. It checks for ADX strength above a threshold (you set it), waits for a retrace to an EMA (usually 20/21 EMA), and looks for a price-action nudge (e.g., continuation candle, micro-break of structure). If conditions align, it places a measured position with ATR-based stops and fixed-R targets. When momentum fades, it stands down—no forced trades, no revenge entries.

What it targets

  1. Pairs: EURUSD, GBPUSD, USDJPY, XAUUSD (works on majors and gold; indices possible with tuning)
  2. Timeframes: M15–H1 are sweet spots; M5 for fast scalps; H4 if you prefer swings
  3. Account types: Standard/RAW; hedging enabled recommended; ECN spreads help
  4. Min deposit: $300–$500 suggested (start small, scale with confidence)
  5. Leverage: 1:200–1:500 (use wisely—risk per trade stays small)

How it trades

  1. Detect trend strength: ADX filter screens for genuine trend pressure.
  2. Find value area: a pullback tags the EMA (configurable period).
  3. Confirm timing: optional confirmation candle or micro-structure break.
  4. Place trade: ATR-normalized SL, fixed-R TP (or trailing), and session/news filters.
  5. Manage risk: daily stop, equity guard, spread/slippage checks, auto-pause.

Backtest Results & Proof (what we saw)

  1. Symbols: EURUSD, GBPUSD, USDJPY, XAUUSD
  2. TFs: M15 for majors; M30 for gold (XAUUSD)
  3. Period: Jan 2018 – May 2025
  4. Risk: 0.5% per trade; no martingale; optional 1 capped add-on ≤0.25%
  5. Stops/Targets: ATR(14) SL × 1.8–2.2; TP × 1.5–1.8 (trail after +1R optional)
  6. Filters: ADX ≥ 20–25; session = London/NY; spread guard ON; red-news skip ON

EURUSD M15 (indicative)

  1. Hit rate: ~54–58%
  2. Avg R:R: ~1.5–1.6
  3. Profit factor: ~1.35–1.50
  4. Mood: smoother curves when ADX filter is stricter (≥25)

XAUUSD M30 (indicative)

  1. Hit rate: ~51–55%
  2. Avg R:R: ~1.6–1.8
  3. Profit factor: ~1.40–1.60
  4. Mood: strong trend days carried equity; trailing helped on runners

What stood out

  1. ADX + EMA gating cut a lot of fake breakouts.
  2. Fixed-R logic with ATR stops kept behavior stable across regimes.
  3. Optional one-time scale-in improved recovery after shallow pullbacks—without turning into a grid.

Reminder: Past performance does not guarantee future results. Always forward-test on a demo and ramp risk slowly.
