Three new EAs: 24/7 crypto, NAS100 breakout, and a market-neutral gold/silver pair

We added CryptoTrend (BTC/ETH 24/7), NasdaqBreak (NAS100 NY-session breakout), and Gold–Silver StatArb — each risk-first, hard stop on every trade. Here is what they do and why we built them.

Three new EAs: 24/7 crypto, NAS100 breakout, and a market-neutral gold/silver pair

We added three expert advisors to the EAbase lineup — each one closing a gap our own research showed was missing, and each built to the same risk-first rule as everything else we ship: a hard stop on every trade, no grid, no martingale, no averaging.

1. CryptoTrend — trade crypto while you sleep

Crypto markets run 24/7, so most FX-oriented EAs simply don't apply. CryptoTrend (/en/product/crypto-trend) is built for that clock. It runs on the H1 chart of BTC or ETH and only trades with the trend:

• the 50-period EMA must sit above the 200,
• ADX must confirm the move has real strength (ADX above 20),
• entry is a pullback to the fast EMA, not a chase.

Every position carries an ATR-based hard stop, moves to break-even after +1R, then trails by ATR. A daily loss cap (default 5%) closes the trade and stands the EA down for the rest of the day. One position at a time.

2. NasdaqBreak — catch the New-York volatility expansion

Index CFDs (NAS100 / US30) do their biggest intraday moves in the US session. NasdaqBreak (/en/product/nasdaq-break) measures the early-session M15 range, then breaks out of it with an ATR hard stop and a 1.5R target. Pending orders auto-expire, and any open trade is flattened by 21:00 server time — deliberately, because index CFDs carry overnight financing and gap risk we don't want you holding.

3. Gold–Silver StatArb — a trade that isn't directional

Most of our EAs pick a direction. Gold–Silver StatArb (/en/product/gold-silver-statarb) deliberately does not. It watches the gold/silver ratio and bets on it returning to normal: when gold is expensive versus silver it sells gold and buys silver; when cheap, the reverse. Each leg has its own ATR hard stop, and the pair exits if the ratio reverts or if it trends hard past a 3.5σ stop. It's a relative-value play, not a gold bet.

Why these three

We scanned the MQL5 market and the major EA review sites before building. Gold EAs dominate demand (we already cover that well), but crypto, index, and market-neutral pairs were under-served by us — so that's where the new work went. We also closed an honesty gap: Gold–Silver StatArb had been listed as "soon" with no code behind it. It's live now.

Before you run anything

• Compile the source in MetaEditor (see mt4/README.md) or use the provided .ex4.
• Run it on a VPS with an ECN broker that fits the EA's spread profile.
• Forward-test on a demo account first. A backtest is not a live account — your broker's spread, slippage, and execution speed decide whether an edge survives.

Trading forex, CFDs, and crypto carries substantial risk of loss and is not suitable for everyone. EAs are tools, not guarantees. Nothing here is financial advice. Size to your own risk tolerance and never risk capital you can't afford to lose.
