The Idea Behind the Box Reversal EA
Markets often reverse strongly after overextended price movements, especially during specific hours of the day. These reversals typically result from profit-taking or corrections from extreme price levels.
The Box Reversal EA uses the Average True Range (ATR) to dynamically define a "box" around the current price:
- The box size is determined by the ATR, multiplied by an adjustable value for customization.
- The top and bottom of the box are placed at half the adjusted ATR value above and below the price.
- If the price breaks out of the box, the EA identifies it as an overextension and enters a reversal trade.
Prop Firm Ready: This EA works with both Prop Firm Challenges and Live Prop Firm Accounts.
Smart Filters for Higher Accuracy
The EA includes filters to detect strong prior directional moves, increasing the likelihood of a reversal. These filters ensure trades align with high-probability setups while avoiding trends that are likely to continue.
Works Across Multiple Markets
The Box Reversal EA is optimized for pairs like GBPUSD and EURGBP but works on various other markets. You can test it yourself and decide which instruments suit your trading style. For your convenience, detailed results and input settings for GBPUSD are provided in the screenshots section.
Why It Works
By combining ATR-based dynamic sizing, advanced filters, and time-based exits, the Box Reversal EA adapts to changing market conditions. This makes it a robust tool for intraday traders seeking to profit from predictable market reversals.
