Why most EAs fail — and what a 65+ conviction threshold changes
Most Expert Advisors trade too much. They fire on every signal, every candle, every setup that remotely looks like an entry. The result? Death by a thousand cuts.
SIGNAL17 takes a different approach. It runs every potential setup through a 7-factor machine learning model trained on ICT and Smart Money Concepts — market structure, liquidity sweeps, order blocks, fair value gaps, time of day, session overlap, and institutional order flow.
Each factor gets scored. The composite has to hit 65 out of 100 before the EA touches a trade.
That means it sits on its hands a lot. And that's the point. The best traders aren't the ones who trade the most — they're the ones who only show up when the edge is real.
If you're running MT5 and you're tired of EAs that churn your account, this might be worth a look.
