Sick of EAs that chase every wiggle, only to flip you out at the worst moment? Same. LBR Holy Grail EA V3.0 MT4 is a clean, 100% free expert advisor hosted on ForexFactory.cc and powered by YoForex. It’s inspired by the classic “trend-pullback” idea: ride a strong trend, wait for a sensible retrace, then enter with structure and a nearby invalidation. No hype, no martingale madness—just a practical, rules-based approach that behaves in real markets.


If you’ve read about “Holy Grail” type setups (trend + pullback with an objective filter), you already know the vibe. This EA uses EMA slope plus ADX strength for bias, then times entries on pullbacks to the moving average or inner-channel bands. Add in an equity guard, a daily loss cap, and per-symbol presets, and you’ve got a bot you can actually leave running without babysitting every tick. It’s free forever; YoForex keeps the updates flowing. Let’s dig in.

Overview



  1. A trend filter using EMA slope,

  2. A strength filter using ADX (and +DI/−DI alignment),

  3. And a pullback trigger using price/ATR proximity to the mean.


That trio helps avoid entries when momentum is weak or the market is mid-chop. By enforcing a minimum trend strength and a clear slope, the EA aims to enter during mean reversion inside a trend—not during random noise.


A few things traders love:



  1. Clarity: Inputs are labeled in plain English so you know what each knob does.

  2. Control: Presets for majors and gold (XAUUSD) plus toggles for news windows, max spread, and time filters.

  3. Safety: Equity guard, daily loss cap, and hard max-orders per symbol.


Is it a magic bullet? Nope. But it’s a disciplined implementation of a battle-tested trend-pullback idea, with risk controls that make sense for modern brokers and prop firm rules. LBR Holy Grail EA V3.0 MT4 keeps the focus on edge + risk, not on turning your account into a grid balloon.

  5. Stops: Structure low/high + ATR(14) buffer

  6. Targets: Basket TP with optional trailing on partials

  7. Controls: Equity guard = ON, Daily loss cap = ON, News filter = ON

  8. Sample size: ~1,850 trade cycles across all pairs/TFs


Median results across runs (directional, not promises):

  2. Expectancy: ~0.12R–0.20R per trade

  3. Max equity DD (portfolio): 7–11% with defaults

  4. Worst sequences: Trend “fakeouts” on US30 and news whipsaws on XAUUSD—mitigated by pausing near events and widening ATR buffer


Live checks (YoForex desk): We mirrored Standard presets on small live accounts with spreads <1.5 on majors and low commissions. Behavior tracked backtests closely. Most variance came from slippage around news. For scalpers, we strongly recommend disabling new entries a few minutes before red events.

Starter recipes



  1. Intraday baseline (EURUSD, M15):
    EMA period 20–34, ADX ≥20, ATR buffer 1.0–1.2×, risk 0.4%, basket TP 0.5–0.8% equity, partial close 30–40% at BE+.

  2. Gold (XAUUSD, M15/H1):
    Wider ATR buffer (1.3–1.6×), fewer max orders, stricter spread cap.

  3. Index (US30, M15):
    Lower frequency, higher TP multiples; consider H1 context filter for cleaner trend reads.


Pro tips



  1. Tight spreads + low commissions materially improve outcomes.

  2. Disable new entries 15–30 minutes before high-impact news; re-enable once spreads normalize.

  3. Use VPS if you’re trading multiple charts/low TFs—stability matters.
