EA Portfolio Laws

The iTradeAIMS MT4 Expert Advisor Suite is five distinct rule-based engines, developed and benchmarked across 128 multi-year reality check backtests (January 2022 to September 2026) using continuous real tick data from Pepperstone UK. This page sets out the portfolio laws those tests point to.

All five Expert Advisors are built on the Lean & Robust Machine Standard, stripping away parameter bloat and locking execution into Universal Model A (Pure Free Trade): banking 50% cash profit at $+1.0R$, protecting swing structure without premature Break-Even stopouts, and letting trend runners trail freely.

The 4 Universal Laws of AIMS Algorithmic Trading​

Across 128 continuous multi-year test runs on Pepperstone real history, four patterns held for every EA in the suite. They describe historical backtests, not future results.

Law 1: Equity Indices are Supreme Trend Engines​

Across all 5 EAs, Equity Indices (GER40, NAS100, US30) were the strongest markets in the tests. Stock indices tend to show structural upward drift and volatility clustering, which suits the AIMS Free Trade + Trend Riding framework: runners can capture the occasional 5R to 12R move.

Law 2: The Timeframe Specialization Hierarchy​

  • H4 Timeframe: Optimal for Forex Crosses and Swings. AIMS Fruit EA reached a 1.96 Profit Factor on GBPJPY H4 because large stop distances make broker spread friction small.
  • H1 Timeframe: The universal Zero-Stress Macro Standard. Provides clean trends across Indices, Energy (SpotBrent), and Forex majors with less intraday noise.
  • M5 & M15 Timeframes: Active Intraday Precision Engines for GER40 and NAS100 during London and New York session hours (AIMS Gator Advanced and AIMS Entry Alert).

Law 3: Pure Free Trade (Model A) Always Defeats Break-Even​

Moving Stop Loss to Break-Even at $+1.0R$ consistently degraded system expectancy because of normal structural retests (in our benchmark tournament it cut the DAX result to about one-twentieth of the Free Trade result). Banking 50% cash profit at $+1.0R$ while leaving the Stop Loss at swing structure avoids most of those whipsaws and de-risks the position.

Law 4: Multi-Strategy Ensembles Smooth Drawdowns​

Combining trend breakout engines (AIMS Momentum, AIMS LOBOT) with climactic exhaustion engines (AIMS Fruit) and box containment engines (AIMS Entry Alert) reduced portfolio drawdown in the tests. When markets trend, Momentum and LOBOT carry the larger runs; when markets consolidate or climax, Fruit and Entry Alert do more of the work.

Option 1: The "Grand Slam" Macro Portfolio (H1 & H4 Set-and-Forget)​

  3. AIMS Fruit EA on US30.r H1, GBPJPY.r H4, & SpotBrent.r H1
  4. AIMS Entry Alert EA on GER40.r H1 & XAUUSD.r H1

Option 2: The "Intraday Index Specialist" Portfolio (M5 & M15)​

  2. AIMS LOBOT EA on US30.r M15 (PF 3.25, 5.89% Max Drawdown)
