About YV Orbit

YV Orbit is an independent algorithmic trading research and development project. It designs, codes and tests MetaTrader 5 Expert Advisors, and builds the tools used to test them.

What the work covers

• Expert Advisor development. Rule-based entries and exits, stop-loss and take-profit handling, trade management and configurable inputs for MetaTrader 5.
• Strategy research. Trend-following, breakout, reversal, mean-reversion and multi-timeframe ideas, each written down as fixed rules before it is coded.
• Indicator work. Porting and checking indicator logic between Pine Script and MQL5.
• Testing and validation. Backtests across timeframes and brokers' data, short forward tests, and code audits before testing.

Why the test record is public

Most of the strategies tested so far have not been profitable. They are published anyway, because a record that only shows winners says nothing about how often ideas fail. The test record lists every published test with its report image, and the report library shows what each image does and does not include.

The record has limits that are stated plainly: most report images are summary graphics rather than raw Strategy Tester exports, several leave out test dates, spreads or commissions, and nothing has been audited by an independent party.

Published work

• Two Expert Advisors on the MQL5 Market: Consecutive Candle Reversal (free) and Two Frame Momentum Trend (paid). Both passed MQL5 Market validation, which checks that an EA runs without technical errors. It is not a test of profitability.
• Seven in-house tools, none public yet. YV EA Audit, YV Multi-Timeframe Tester and YV Reverse Engine are in private use. YV Strategy Audit, YV Combination Backtester, YV Robustness Scorecard and YV Decode My EA are in development. See Tools.
• Chart ideas on TradingView.

What YV Orbit is not

YV Orbit is not a broker and does not hold or manage anyone's money. It is not a regulated financial firm and does not hold a licence to give investment advice. Nothing on this site is a recommendation to trade. Read the risk disclosure before using any EA.
