Price Impulse Reversal: Automated MT5 Price Action Trading with Risk Controls

This review of Price Impulse Reversal in 2025 examines performance and provides an analysis of its real-world behavior on the MT5 platform. The EA is notable for eschewing indicators and instead detecting impulsive price moves to capture short directional trends, pairing strict stop loss and take profit rules with a spread filter to avoid low quality fills. Price Impulse Reversal is designed to trade four specific currency pairs and uses event-based entry logic that reacts to momentum and breakout-like movements rather than smoothing price with indicators. What makes Price Impulse Reversal unique is its minimalist approach: the algorithm evaluates raw price action, volume context where available, and predefined impulse criteria to trigger orders. The developer, Mohamed Chadlioui Ezzamouri, implemented automated risk checks and an identification number for multi-instance management. In practice the EA performs best in stable, liquid sessions where impulsive moves are clear and spreads remain tight. The risk management combines per-trade stop loss, take profit, and a maximum allowed spread parameter, and configurable lot sizing to align with account size. Expected performance characteristics include moderate trade frequency with focus on quality entries, relatively shallow but controlled drawdowns when filters are respected, and consistent trade management across supported pairs. Price Impulse Reversal requires careful backtesting and forward demo validation; users should monitor real spreads, slippage, and broker execution quality to validate live results.
