Snapback Pro EA for MT5 – trading the snap back after overstretched daysFeatured

About Snapback Pro EA

Snapback Pro EA trades against stretches beyond yesterday's range as a linear grid on up to 20 pairs. See the sets, the settings and the risks.

The Mechanics of Snapback Pro EA

Snapback Pro EA is an Expert Advisor for MetaTrader 5. It waits for a day on which price runs far beyond the previous day's range. Moves like that rarely last. Snapback lets the first real pullback show, then enters against the stretch and works the trade as a linear grid until the whole basket can be closed in profit with a trailing stop. It is built for traders who know what a grid without a stop loss means and who can put the recommended capital on an account of its own. It is not a fit for anyone who wants a fixed stop loss on every trade. Single positions have no stop loss, and the supplied set files use no equity stop. Past results, in a backtest or on a live account, don't guarantee future results, and trading with an EA can lose money.

The core logic is simple to describe. The EA builds levels from the previous day's range and waits until price closes beyond them on the signal timeframe, H1 by default. In the set files that level is 423 %, which is more than four times half of the previous day's range. A virtual entry order then trails price at a pullback distance. Only when price turns and reaches that order does the first position open, against the stretch. If price keeps running, the EA adds positions at fixed steps. The lot grows by one start lot every three orders. That is linear, not exponential like a martingale.

One EA on one chart trades up to 20 pairs. An account-wide rule keeps at most 5 pairs at risk at the same time; pairs whose basket is already in trailing profit do not count. Ready-made set files exist for 3, 5 and 7 pairs, each running from one CADJPY M15 chart. Snapback Pro EA is developed by Pitt Petruschke (AlgoVerdict) and sold on Algo Trading Space. The developer runs it on his own live account at RoboForex, and our Account Tracker follows it on this page. That account is young, one to two weeks live, so read it as an early look at how Snapback trades, not as a track record.

How the strategy works

The signal: a close on H1 beyond the stretch level, 423 % of half the previous day's range in the sets.
The entry: a virtual order trails price 20 pips behind and only fills when the move turns.
The grid: lots grow linearly, one start lot every three orders, not by doubling.
Managing the basket: close the worst entries first, trail the whole basket, max. 5 pairs at risk.

Illustration, not real prices. Past results do not guarantee future results.

Understanding the Snapback Pro EA Strategy

Snapback Pro EA enters against stretched moves and works them as a linear grid, with a limit of 5 pairs at risk.

Best suited for:

  • Traders who understand a grid without a stop loss per position.
  • Traders who can fund an account of its own with the recommended capital for their set.
  • Users with a hedging account, low spreads and a VPS.
  • Traders who want several pairs managed from one chart.

Not recommended for:

  • Anyone who wants a fixed stop loss on every trade.
  • Accounts below the recommended capital.
  • Traders who need a long live track record before they start.
  • Anyone who reads backtest figures as an expectation for the future.

Snapback Pro EA is available here on Algo Trading Space. Test it on your broker's data and on a demo account before you trade with real money.

Snapback Pro EA at a Glance

  • Many pairs, one chart

    One EA on a single CADJPY M15 chart trades every pair of its set.

    Read more

    One EA on a single CADJPY M15 chart trades every pair of its set. The sets trade 3, 5 or 7 pairs, with H1 as the signal timeframe.

  • Linear grid

    The lot grows by one start lot every three orders.

    Read more

    The lot grows by one start lot every three orders. The multiplier mode, a martingale, is not used in the sets.

  • No stop per position

    Single positions have no stop loss, and the set files use no equity stop.

  • Hedging account

    Buy and sell baskets run separately; on a netting account the EA runs in a reduced mode only.

Technical Specifications and Trading Logic of Snapback Pro EA

Every step of a Snapback cycle follows fixed rules. Buy and sell baskets run separately: a buy basket follows a stretch to the downside, a sell basket a stretch to the upside.

  • Stretch Signal

    The EA measures the previous day's range and waits for a close beyond a stretch level on the signal timeframe, H1 by default.

    Read more

    The EA measures the previous day's range and waits for a close beyond a stretch level on the signal timeframe, H1 by default. The set files use the 423 % level. Very small previous days can be skipped, and Sunday candles are ignored as reference days by default.

  • Pullback Entry

    After the stretch, a virtual entry order trails price at a pullback distance, 20 pips by default.

    Read more

    After the stretch, a virtual entry order trails price at a pullback distance, 20 pips by default. No order sits at the broker during this phase. The first position opens only when price turns and reaches the virtual order.

  • Linear Grid Without Stop Loss

    If price keeps going against the trade, positions are added at fixed steps.

    Read more

    If price keeps going against the trade, positions are added at fixed steps. Lots grow by one start lot every three orders. From a set lot size the step widens. Single positions have no stop loss. A multiplier mode exists, which is an exponential martingale; the set files do not use it.

  • Drawdown Reduction

    Three methods use the profit of newer positions to close the oldest, worst entries early.

    Read more

    Three methods use the profit of newer positions to close the oldest, worst entries early. The losing position is always closed first. By default they start from 4 open positions. They shrink the basket by netting profit against loss. They do not make losses disappear: if price keeps running against the basket, the grid still grows.

  • Basket Exit and Equity Stop

    Once the basket is far enough in profit, the EA places a stop on all positions and trails it.

    Read more

    Once the basket is far enough in profit, the EA places a stop on all positions and trails it. An equity stop is built in, but it is switched off in the set files. If you switch it on and it triggers, it closes the baskets at a loss. It prevents the stop-out, but it makes the loss final.

  • Markets, Filters and Platform

    The sets trade GBPCAD, CADJPY, NZDUSD, NZDCAD, USDCAD, NZDCHF and EURCHF; one EA can trade up to 20 pairs.

    Read more

    The sets trade GBPCAD, CADJPY, NZDUSD, NZDCAD, USDCAD, NZDCHF and EURCHF; one EA can trade up to 20 pairs. A spread limit blocks entries when spreads are wide. By default, a holiday filter stops new cycles from 22 December to 5 January. A news filter uses the MT5 economic calendar and works only live, not in the Strategy Tester. Snapback Pro EA runs on MetaTrader 5 and needs a hedging account with low spreads.

Core Strengths of the Snapback Pro EA System

  • Up to 20 Pairs on One Chart

    One EA on one CADJPY chart trades every pair of the set, each with its own settings.

  • Limit of 5 Pairs at Risk

    An account-wide rule keeps at most 5 baskets at risk at once; pairs in trailing profit do not count.

  • Linear Lot Growth

    The lot grows by one start lot every three orders, not exponentially.

  • Three Drawdown Methods

    Newer winners close the oldest, worst entries early to shrink the basket.

  • Sets by Account Size

    Set files for 3, 5 and 7 pairs come with a recommended minimum equity for each.

Who Should Use Snapback Pro EA?

Snapback is a grid EA. Whether it fits depends less on your style than on your capital and how you handle drawdown.

  • The Grid-Aware Portfolio Trader

    You know what a grid without a stop loss means.

    Read more

    You know what a grid without a stop loss means. You put the recommended capital for your set on an account of its own, use a hedging account with low spreads and run the EA around the clock on a VPS. You want one chart to manage several pairs.

  • The Careful Tester

    You run the set in your own Strategy Tester with real ticks on your broker's data, then on a demo account, before any live money.

    Read more

    You run the set in your own Strategy Tester with real ticks on your broker's data, then on a demo account, before any live money. You know that a test on one broker's data says little about another broker's spreads and swaps.

  • The Trader Who Should Look Elsewhere

    You want a fixed stop loss on every trade.

    Read more

    You want a fixed stop loss on every trade. Or you want to start below the recommended capital, or you read backtest figures as an expectation for the future. In that case Snapback is not for you. A long trend against an open basket is the main risk, and with too little capital it ends in a stop-out.

Why Traders Choose Snapback Pro EA for Automated Trading

  1. A Clear Entry Rule

    Snapback only enters after a close beyond a stretch level built from the previous day's range, then a real pullback to a virtual entry order.

    Snapback only enters after a close beyond a stretch level built from the previous day's range, then a real pullback to a virtual entry order. The rule is fixed and can be checked in the Strategy Tester.

  2. Portfolio Control From One Chart

    One chart runs up to 20 pairs.

    Read more

    One chart runs up to 20 pairs. The portfolio table shows each pair's status, result and drawdown. You can stop new cycles on a single pair without removing the EA, while its open basket keeps being managed.

  3. Built-In Exposure Limit

    No more than 5 pairs can be at risk at the same time.

    Read more

    No more than 5 pairs can be at risk at the same time. That is why more pairs do not automatically mean more open risk. Pairs that share a currency, such as CAD in several pairs of the sets, can still move together.

  4. Pair Selection From Testing

    Two pairs that did badly in the test, EURAUD and EURJPY, are left out of the sets.

    Read more

    Two pairs that did badly in the test, EURAUD and EURJPY, are left out of the sets. The pairs were chosen with the test results known, so the set backtests are not an out-of-sample check. Each set comes with a recommended minimum equity.

  5. A Young Live Account

    The developer runs Snapback on his own RoboForex account, and our Account Tracker follows it on this page.

The Snapback Pro EA Setup and Implementation Process

Snapback runs every pair of a set from a single chart. Getting there takes a few steps, and a hedging account is required. On a netting account the EA runs in a reduced mode only.

  1. Download and File Placement

    Buy Snapback Pro EA on Algo Trading Space and download it from My Account on Algo Trading Space.

    Read more

    Buy Snapback Pro EA on Algo Trading Space and download it from My Account on Algo Trading Space. In MetaTrader 5, open File, then Open Data Folder, and copy the .ex5 file into MQL5\Experts. Then right-click Expert Advisors in the Navigator and choose Refresh. Use the set file for your account size: 3, 5 or 7 pairs. Snapback Pro EA checks its licence online, so allow our address once in MetaTrader: open Tools, then Options, then Expert Advisors, tick "Allow WebRequest for listed URL" and add https://algotradingspace.com.

  2. Initialization on One CADJPY M15 Chart

    Open one CADJPY chart on M15.

    Read more

    Open one CADJPY chart on M15. CADJPY is part of every set. Drag Snapback onto the chart. In the "Common" tab, tick "Allow Algo Trading". Do not attach the same set a second time to another chart on the same account.

  3. Configuring the Set Files

    In the "Inputs" tab, click "Load", choose the set file and confirm.

    Read more

    In the "Inputs" tab, click "Load", choose the set file and confirm. If your broker adds a suffix to symbol names (for example ".r"), enter it under "broker symbol suffix". Switch on "Algo Trading" in the toolbar and check that the portfolio table lists every pair of the set. All sets use a fixed 0.01 start lot, no equity stop, at most 5 pairs at risk and the 423 % stretch level.

  4. Monitoring and Management

    The dashboard shows the status of the chart's pair, the next entry order, a stretch radar, the spread against the spread limit, the open positions per side and the state of the three drawdown methods.

    Read more

    The dashboard shows the status of the chart's pair, the next entry order, a stretch radar, the spread against the spread limit, the open positions per side and the state of the three drawdown methods. The portfolio table lists every pair with its timeframe, status, result, max drawdown, lots and positions. Buttons let you pause, close one side or close everything. A switch per pair stops new cycles without removing the EA; an open basket is still managed. Snapback should run around the clock on a VPS.

Technical Review and Implementation

Before you go live, run your set in the Strategy Tester with real ticks on your own broker's data. The news filter does nothing in the tester. Then run it on a demo account. Watch how the virtual entry order trails price, how the grid adds positions and how the basket stop trails. Keep the recommended capital on an account of its own: the drawdown of other EAs on the same account adds to Snapback's. Decide before the first trade whether you want the equity stop on, knowing that it turns a deep drawdown into a realized loss.

Common Questions About Snapback Pro EA

Technical and operational details about the strategy and how to run it.

Which pairs and timeframes does Snapback Pro EA trade?

The EA runs on one CADJPY M15 chart and uses H1 as the signal timeframe by default. The 3-pair set trades GBPCAD, CADJPY and NZDUSD. The 5-pair set adds NZDCAD and USDCAD. The 7-pair set adds NZDCHF and EURCHF. One EA can trade up to 20 pairs.

Is Snapback Pro EA a grid or martingale EA?

It is a grid EA. If price keeps running against the trade, the EA adds positions at fixed steps. Single positions have no stop loss, and the set files use no equity stop. The lot grows linearly, by one start lot every three orders, not exponentially as in a martingale. A multiplier mode exists but is not used in the sets.

How much capital do I need?

At a 0.01 start lot the developer recommends 2,500 USD for the 3-pair set and 5,000 USD for the 5-pair and 7-pair sets, on an account of its own. More pairs on less capital raise the risk of a stop-out.

What can go wrong?

A long trend against an open basket. The grid keeps growing, the drawdown gets deep, and with too little capital it ends in a stop-out. Up to 5 baskets can run against you at once. Swap on baskets held overnight and longer is part of the cost.

What kind of account do I need?

A MetaTrader 5 hedging account with low spreads. On a netting account the EA runs in a reduced mode only. If your broker adds a suffix to symbol names, you enter it once in the inputs.

Is there a live account?

Yes, a young one. The developer runs Snapback on his own RoboForex account, and our Account Tracker follows it on this page. It has run for one to two weeks, so treat it as an early look, not a track record.

What does it cost?

Snapback Pro EA costs 99 EUR plus VAT as a one-time payment on Algo Trading Space. After you buy it, run the set in the Strategy Tester and on a demo account before trading live.

Do I need a VPS?

Yes. The EA manages open baskets, adds grid orders and trails the basket stop. While the terminal is offline none of that happens, and open positions stay open.
