# 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.

### Empirical Testing Protocol & Verification GuidanceUser Testing Standard

Published metrics reflect our institutional test suite across 2022–2026 (4.75 Years) on Pepperstone real tick data.

The metrics, equity curves, and profit factors published on this site represent **our internal historical research benchmarks**. Market conditions, execution latency, broker spread spreads, overnight swap rates, and slippage vary between individual brokerages.

We strongly encourage every trader to **take the provided parameter templates (.set presets)** and conduct your own rigorous local backtests and forward tests before allocating live capital to the AIMS MT4 Expert Advisor Suite.

1

#### Load Tuned Set Files

Start with the tested `.set` preset files bundled with your product release package. These provide hardened baselines with optimized ATR multiples and entry thresholds.

2

#### Backtest on Your Broker

Execute your own historical runs in MetaTrader Strategy Tester using tick-quality historical data from your chosen broker to verify spread and slippage tolerance.

3

#### Forward-Test on Demo

Run the EA on a demo account across at least **20 to 50 live forward trades** (or 2 to 4 weeks). Observe order placement, partial closes, and trailing stops under real market dynamics.

**Educational & Software Research Notice:** Past simulated performance does not guarantee future market results. All trading involves substantial financial risk. Algorithms are designed as systematic execution tools, not automated profit guarantees.

## The 4 Universal Laws of AIMS Algorithmic Trading[​](#the-4-universal-laws-of-aims-algorithmic-trading "Direct link to 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[​](#law-1-equity-indices-are-supreme-trend-engines "Direct link to 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[​](#law-2-the-timeframe-specialization-hierarchy "Direct link to 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[​](#law-3-pure-free-trade-model-a-always-defeats-break-even "Direct link to 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[​](#law-4-multi-strategy-ensembles-smooth-drawdowns "Direct link to 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.
