🚀 Growth Killer v2.6 - Complete Settings Guide
A comprehensive guide to all settings. The EA now features two distinct modes: Custom (traditional) and XAUUSD Multi-Timeframe (advanced).
🎯 Strategy Mode (NEW!)
⚡ Choose Your Trading Style
Growth Killer v2.6 introduces a revolutionary dual-mode system:
Strategy Mode Selection
| Mode | Description | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| CUSTOM STRATEGY | Traditional single-timeframe trading with full parameter control | All symbols, manual optimization |
| XAUUSD Multi-TF | Pre-optimized multi-timeframe strategy for Gold | XAUUSD/GOLD only |
⚠️ Important: XAUUSD Strategy is specifically optimized for Gold trading. While it may work on other symbols, results will vary significantly.

🏆 XAUUSD Multi-Timeframe Strategy
✨ Premium Feature: This strategy trades multiple timeframes simultaneously with independent grid systems, creating a robust trading approach specifically for Gold.
How It Works
The XAUUSD strategy monitors timeframes (M30, H1) with pre-configured settings. Each timeframe:
- Has its own entry signals and grid parameters
- Trades independently with unique magic numbers
- Can be enabled/disabled in the code
- Respects the global Max Active Timeframes limit
Default Timeframe Configuration
Key Features of XAUUSD Mode
- Intelligent TF Management: Only allows X timeframes to trade simultaneously (controlled by Max Active Timeframes)
- Independent Grids: Each timeframe manages its own grid system
- Unique Magic Numbers: Base magic + timeframe value (e.g., 20250120 + 30 for M30)
- Trend Filters: Each TF can have different MA settings
- Volume Protection: Smart volume management prevents exceeding broker limits
🚨 Risk Warning: Multi-timeframe trading can rapidly increase exposure. Always test on demo first and monitor closely when live.
