1. Introduction
DRX Equilibrium is a highly specialized hybrid trading system for the Gold market (XAUUSD). It was developed for traders who have professional requirements and do not want to compromise between account security and performance.
The goal of this system is to generate consistent profits in every market phase.
Most classic EAs fail because they are rigid: they work either only in a trend or only in a sideways phase. DRX Equilibrium solves this problem with a dual architecture: It uses calm phases for accumulation (Mean Reversion) and detects via the integrated TEQ Algorithm (Trend Equilibrium) when volume enters the market to trade breakouts immediately.
The system is "Prop-Firm Ready". This means it includes specific protection functions to automatically comply with the strict rules of third-party capital providers (such as FTMO, Apex, etc.).
2. Main Features
✅ Hybrid Engine: Trades Range (Rejection) AND Trends (Breakout) in a single system.
✅ Embedded AI : An internal neural network filters every trade for its probability.
✅ Prop-Firm Protection: Integrated "Max Daily Drawdown" (Daily Loss Limit) and "Friday Exit" (Weekend Closure).
✅ No Grid / No Martingale: Each position is opened individually and has a fixed Stop-Loss.
✅ Auto-Risk Management: Automatically calculates lot size based on account balance and required Gold margin.
✅ Silent Trailing Stop: Secures profits without being stopped out prematurely by normal market noise.
✅ Gold-Optimized: The algorithm is specifically calibrated to the volatility structure of XAUUSD.
✅ Entry Randomization: Minimally disguises entries to bypass Prop-Firm copy-trading scanners.
3. The Strategy Logic
DRX Equilibrium is based on the insight that markets (especially Gold) constantly oscillate between two states: Equilibrium (Calm) and Expansion (Breakout).
The system combines three core components:
-
TEQ Filter (Trend Equilibrium): This indicator measures the ratio of momentum to volatility.
-
Low TEQ: The market is in equilibrium -> The EA trades Rejections at the edges of the range (Buy Low, Sell High).
-
High TEQ: The market explodes -> The EA switches to Breakout and trades in the direction of the impulse.
-
-
AI Filter (Artificial Intelligence): Before a trade is placed, the internal neural network (ONNX) checks the market structure. If the "Confidence Score" is too low, the trade is blocked – even if the signal were technically valid.
-
Adaptive Zones: The trading zones (Range High/Low) are not rigid but adapt dynamically to the current ATR (Average True Range).
4. Trade & Risk Management
4.1 Dynamic Position Sizing (Auto-Lot)
No more manual calculators. The EA uses the internal function OrderCalcMargin to check exactly how much margin is required for Gold at your specific broker.
-
You simply set InpRiskPercent (e.g., 1.0%).
-
The EA automatically calculates the lots so that you lose exactly 1% at the Stop-Loss – no more.
4.2 Silent Trailing Stop
An intelligent trailing mechanism that works "invisibly." It respects the broker's Freeze Levels and only trails the Stop-Loss once the market has moved significantly. This prevents the common error "Trade is too close to market" and unnecessary stop-outs due to spread widening.
4.3 Prop-Firm Safety (Hard Stop)
-
Max Daily Loss: If the account reaches a specific loss limit per day (in %), the EA immediately stops trading until the next day. This protects your account from violating Prop rules.
-
Friday Exit: Automatically closes all trades on Friday evening (e.g., 21:00) to avoid holding positions over the weekend (avoiding gaps).
5. Recommended Markets & Settings
| Parameter | Recommendation |
| Timeframe | H1 (1 Hour) – The most stable timeframe for Gold ranges. |
| Instrument | XAUUSD (Gold) – Exclusively optimized. |
| Account Type | ECN / Raw Spread – Low spreads are crucial for breakouts. |
| Min. Capital | $500 (for 0.01 Lot) or a corresponding Prop-Firm account. |
| VPS | Highly recommended for 24/7 operation and stable latency. |
6. Strategy in Live Operation
In live operation, DRX Equilibrium scans the market at every new tick:
-
Check: Is the spread within the allowed range ( InpMaxSpread )?
-
Analysis: Calculation of the TEQ value and query of the AI Engine.
-
Decision:
-
Is the price at the range edge and TEQ is low? -> Rejection Trade.
-
Is the price breaking out with high momentum? -> Breakout Trade.
-
-
Management: Monitoring of all open positions via the Silent Trailing Stop and checking Drawdown limits.
7. The Info-Panel
The dashboard on the chart shows you the "health status" of the EA at a glance:
-
Current Mode: Shows whether the EA is currently looking for "RANGE" or "BREAKOUT".
-
AI Confidence: How confident is the AI currently in this market? (Green = High, Red = Low).
-
TEQ Value: The current value of the trend filter.
-
Range Levels: The current prices for Range High and Range Low.
Note: The panel can be disabled in the backtest to increase testing speed.
8. Parameters & Settings Explained
Here you will find the most important inputs of the expert in detail:
| Parameter | Type | Description |
| InpUseAI | true/false | Toggles the neural filter on/off. (Recommended: true). |
| InpRiskPercent | Number | Risk per trade in % of the account (e.g., 1.0 = 1% Risk). |
| InpMaxDailyLoss | Number | Maximum daily loss in % (for Prop Firms). 0 = Disabled. |
| InpFridayExit | Hour | Hour on Friday when everything is closed (e.g., 21). |
| InpTradeRejection | true/false | Should the EA take range trades? (Default: true). |
| InpTradeBreakout | true/false | Should the EA trade breakouts? (Default: true). |
| InpTrailMode | Selection | Mode of the Trailing Stop (Points or ATR). |
| InpCancelDistance | Points | Deletes Pending Orders if the price moves too far away. |
9. Installation & Setup (Step-by-Step)
1️⃣ Download: Download the EA via your MT5 Market.
2️⃣ Open Chart: Open the XAUUSD (Gold) chart on the H1 timeframe.
3️⃣ Activate: Drag the EA from the Navigator onto the chart.
4️⃣ Algo-Trading: Ensure the "Algo-Trading" button in the top toolbar is green.
5️⃣ Configuration:
-
Set InpRiskPercent to a conservative value (e.g., 0.5% or 1.0%).
-
If you are trading a Prop account, activate InpMaxDailyLoss (e.g., 4.0%).
6️⃣ Done: The EA will display the panel and wait for the next valid signal.
10. Best Practices (Pro Tips)
-
Patience is Money: Gold can remain in a tight range for hours without a clear signal. The EA waits patiently. Do not intervene manually.
-
News Events: The EA has internal volatility filters. However, it is advisable to be cautious during extreme "Red Folder" news (like NFP, FOMC, or CPI) or to pause the EA briefly if you want to trade very conservatively.
-
Backtesting: Absolutely use the mode "Every tick based on real ticks" in the Strategy Tester. Since the EA uses tick data for the breakout and trailing stop, "OHLC M1" data is too inaccurate!
