FXQuasar EA trading strategy

From the MT4 trading history chart below, you can see that FXQuasar EA has complex trading logic.

It may hold short and long positions at the same time.
In addition, stop loss and take profit may be set for a single position, or multiple positions may be held by grid trading.

The v sales site describes its trading strategy as follows.
“This EA incorporates 6 different sessions. 3 of these sessions are traded using only long (buy) positions, and the remaining 3 use short (sell) positions. .”

That is, three trade logics are applied to sell and buy entries.

As a result of analyzing the trading history of this EA, there are probably three trading logics (sessions) as follows.

  1. Trade with a single position without increasing lot size
  2. Trade by increasing the lot size after a loss in a single position (Martingale)
  3. Trade while increasing lot size with multiple positions (grid & martingale)

Trade by increasing lot size after loss (Martingale)

One of the trading strategies of FXQuasar EA is Martingale. After a loss occurs, triple the lot size and execute the trade.
Reference article:Martingale EA Risks and Benefits | Is it profitable?

If a trade that triples the lot size is successful, it will recover the loss of the previous trade.

■Trade history with 3x lot size

Open Date Close Date Symbol Action Units/Lots Open Price Close Price Pips Profit
02/06/2023 20:00 02/08/2023 10:21 AUDUSD Sell 0.2 0.68704 0.69904 -120 -239.52
02/08/2023 20:00 02/13/2023 03:27 AUDUSD Sell 0.6 0.6934 0.6894 40 243.79

For this pattern, the stop loss is set at 120 pips and the take profit is set at 40 pips.

Even if this EA has a loss of 120 pips, if the EA immediately succeeds in taking a profit of 40 pips with 3x lot size, the account will receive a profit equivalent to 120 pips. That is, the account will receive a profit equal to the previous loss.

Grid & Martingale Trade

FXQuasar EA also executes trades that combine grid trades and martingales.

In the MT4 trading history chart below, you can see how after holding a short position, it opens three additional short positions as the price rises.
Eventually the price falls and it closes all positions and takes profits.

The table below shows the history of trades that combine grid trading and martingale.

Open Date Close Date Symbol Action Units/Lots Open Price Close Price Pips Profit
04/03/2023 14:48 04/05/2023 10:41 AUDUSD Sell 2.94 0.67537 0.67117 42 1233.83
04/03/2023 13:50 04/05/2023 10:41 AUDUSD Sell 1.74 0.67229 0.67117 11.2 194.31
04/03/2023 10:39 04/05/2023 10:41 AUDUSD Sell 1.02 0.66928 0.67117 -18.9 -193.11

When opening an additional position, the lot size will be 1.7 times the previous position.
Also, the timing to open an additional position is when the price moves unfavorably by 30 pips from the previous position.

First entry timing

Each of the three trade logics has a different entry logic.
It can be an entry in the direction of the trend, or it can be an entry in the opposite direction to the trend.

From the long-term MT4 trading history chart below, you can see in which direction this EA is entering.

Each of the three uses a different entry logic.
If anything, it seems that there are many cases where the entry is in the direction of a short-term trend.

From the long-term MT4 trading history chart below, you can see that sell entries are made when the trend is down, and buy entries are made when the trend turns to up.

Please note that the backtesting period of FXQuasar EA is approximately 7 years (80 months), which is relatively short for a backtesting period.

100% risk backtesting is very profitable. However, the drawdown has occurred to the point where the account balance is almost 0.
This is a very high risk situation, so it is very dangerous to trade in this 100% risk state.

Vendor of FXQuasar EA

FXQuasar EA is sold by the same vendor as his FXSTABILIZER, Forex Truck, etc.
The basic strategy of the EA they sell is a combination of grid trading and martingale.

Generally, the EAs they sell support multiple currency pairs, but FXQuasar EA only supports one currency pair: AUDUSD.

FXQuasar EA executes unique trades among the EAs they sell.

Conclusion of FXQuasar EA

FXQuasar EA trades through 6 different sessions.
Apply three trade logics to sell and buy entries respectively.
The six sessions work completely independently, so there is the possibility of executing many trades at the same time.
This EA is highly profitable because it executes multiple trades at the same time.

However, each of the three trading logics has high risks.

The trade logic of tripling the lot size after a loss will cause a huge loss to the account if consecutive losses occur.

If a major trend occurs, a combination of grid and martingale trades will leave the position stranded, resulting in significant equity losses.

If the three trading logics can complement each other, it will produce good results.
This EA trades frequently, so if profits accumulate, the balance will increase and there is a possibility that it can withstand equity losses.

However, if three trading logics generate losses at the same time when the account balance is low, a huge loss will occur to the account.
Users should be aware of this risk before purchasing and using the EA.
