Takumi EA MT5 trades EURUSD mean reversion using M5 entry conditions and an H1 trend filter. It manages separate baskets with volatility-based targets, a capped averaging ladder and a partial hedge for deeper baskets.
How entries and basket exits work
The EA looks for a deviation from a rolling mean rather than following a breakout. An H1 trend filter screens entries, while each basket has a target measured from its weighted average and adjusted for volatility. The exit gate accounts for costs; if price continues against the position, the ladder can add further legs.
- EURUSD mean-reversion entries with an H1 trend filter.
- Up to three baskets per side, each with an independent target.
- Capped recovery depth, partial hedging and basket recovery after terminal restarts.
Exposure and holding time
Takumi has no per-leg stop loss. It can hold and add to losing baskets for days or weeks, including across weekends. The capped ladder and partial hedge limit aspects of position management, but do not guarantee recovery or prevent total account loss. Judge floating equity, margin and total exposure alongside closed balance; unrealised losses are economically meaningful.
The current written listing reports a longest historical basket of approximately 40 days. That is simulated history, not a maximum holding-time promise. The developer says the system is unsuitable for prop-firm accounts with daily drawdown rules.
MT5 account and broker setup
Use EURUSD M5, one chart and one instance, on an MT5 hedging account; the developer says the EA will not start on netting accounts. The stated leverage requirement is 1:500 or higher. The published deposit range runs from $2,000 at Extreme to $5,000 at Very Low, the default tier. Broker commission must be entered correctly for the cost-aware exit calculation. Continuous VPS operation and low spreads are specified.
Live account and detailed review
The developer’s Takumi X signal provides early forward evidence. At our 16 September 2026 check, closed growth was positive but equity was below the initial deposit because of open losses. The review examines that distinction, the original graphic’s inconsistent test figures and the requirements for running an averaging strategy.
Compare the same developer’s two systems
Kumiko XR focuses on gold with separate day and night engines. Takumi uses EURUSD mean reversion and can maintain several baskets. Both use averaging ladders; trading different symbols does not remove their shared recovery risk.
