For MetaTrader 5 traders with a day job

Tested strategies. A complete plan. The discipline to follow it.

Every day after the New York close, PriceEdge gives you the setups, with entry, stop, exit and lot size worked out, ready for you to place in your MT5 account in two clicks.

60 days free on a demo account. No credit card. Not available to residents of Thailand.

You know how to trade. The hard part is doing it the same way every day.

Charts in one tab, a signal group in another, a lot size calculator, a news calendar, and a spreadsheet you stopped filling in. After a loss you skip the next setup; after a win you double up. And if you live in Asia, the daily candle closes before sunrise.

  • Instead of scrolling charts by eye every day

    A scan in about 10 seconds

    Every instrument you follow, checked against written rules after the New York close.

  • Instead of hoping a signal group's method works

    Tested on unseen years

    Results after costs, published, including the ideas that failed.

  • Instead of a rushed lot size calculator

    Lot sizes already done

    For 1%, 1.5% and 2% risk, from your broker's own contract data.

  • Instead of copying orders into MT5 at 4 AM

    Two clicks into MT5

    Entry, stop, expiry and lot size go in together, on your own account.

  • Instead of skipping after a loss, doubling after a win

    Discipline built in

    A weekly trade cap, a drawdown halt and news badges.

  • Instead of a journal you stopped filling in

    Every trade measured

    Your Scorecard checks your months against the backtest.

Two strategies on the Scanner today

RSI-2 mean reversion

live

In a trend, buy a short, sharp dip with a limit order and sell into the bounce, or the reverse in a downtrend. Fully rule-based. About 2 trades a week on 20 instruments.

PeriodProfit factorAverage per trade
2021 to 2022 (unseen)1.44about +0.1R
2023 to 2024 (selection)1.36about +0.1R
2025 to Oct 2026 (held-out)1.48about +0.1R

63 to 69% of trades win. Average win about +0.5R, average loss about −0.7R. A typical month about +0.87R. R is the amount you risk on one trade: +1R means you made what you risked.

Backtested results, including spread, commission and swap. Past results are not a promise of future results. Expect losing weeks and losing months.

J16 price action

Pin bars, double bars and outside bars at key levels. The Scanner finds and pre-checks the candidates; you judge them.

R3: an uptrend needs the last 3 swing highs and the last 3 swing lows each higher than the one before; a downtrend the reverse. Neither holds, so the instrument is dropped.

Example

Most ideas fail. We show you which ones.

Rules and the pass mark are written down before any test runs. Variants are compared on 2023 to 2024, then must pass again on 2021 to 2022, years they were never tuned on. The held-out period, 2025 to today, is used once. Going live needs at least 30 trades, a positive average and a profit factor of at least 1.2.

Questions

Is this a signal service?

No. A signal tells you what someone else would do. PriceEdge runs written, tested rules and shows you every step, including why an instrument didn't set up.

Will I make money?

Nobody can promise that. The strategies have an edge in testing, after costs; that is evidence, not a guarantee. Expect losing weeks.

Which broker do I need?

A MetaTrader 5 account at a supported broker, for placing orders from the app. Without one you can copy the order ticket into MT5 by hand.

What happens after the 60 days?

The Scanner stays free. To keep placing orders and tracking trades, choose Trader.

Is it an Expert Advisor?

No. Nothing is installed in MT5. You confirm each order in the app; it then goes to your broker. Nothing is sent without your click.

Can PriceEdge touch my other trades?

No. It only cancels or closes orders you placed through PriceEdge, and it never changes an order.

How is my broker password kept?

Encrypted, and never shown or sent back, not even to you.

What does R mean?

The amount you risk on one trade. +1R means you made what you risked; −1R means the stop was hit.

How much time does it take?

A few minutes a day to read the email and place the orders.
