Risk factors: False breakouts, zig zag movements

Momentum Capture EA follows a typical impulse/momentum strategy that enters into trend direction after a strong initial price movement. However, it uses a specific time filter, which is based on fundamental reasons. It only enters during times of central bank activity, like rate decisions or speeches, and high impact events like CPI releases.

Because of the time filter it has a higher profit factor in backtests compared to a simple momentum system. However, from mid 2018 to mid 2019 it had a long drawdown phase because there was not much activitiy from central banks during that period. It recovered well afterwards and with version 2.9 the size and duration of the drawdown would have also been shorter because of optimized trading periods. 

 

Our opinion

Momentum Capture EA had a long drawdown period in 2018-2019. However, compared to other momentum systems, which also struggled during that period, or even crashed accounts, it handled the false breakouts relatively well with a maximum drawdown of 14%. For patient traders with long-term goals, it could therefore be a good addition to an EA portfolio.
