GoldHydra – Multi-Strategy H1 Swing-Breakout EA for XAUUSD | Backtest + Dashboard
GoldHydra – The Multi-Strategy H1 Swing-Breakout EA for XAUUSD

A complete 6-strategy breakout system that runs on any timeframe, stays on H1 structure, and uses OCO straddle entries with fixed SL/TP + step trailing stop.
How It Works (the official explanation from the developer)
Six independent sub-strategies (A1–A3, B1–B3) each watch a different swing lookback on the H1 chart. When a confirmed swing high/low is found, the EA arms a buy stop above the swing high and a sell stop below the swing low. Whichever side breaks first is filled; the opposite pending is cancelled instantly via OCO.
Every trade carries:
- Fixed stop-loss and take-profit (both server-side)
- Break-even move + step trailing stop
- Position size as % of balance (with hard risk ceiling)
- Daily drawdown stop
- Session, spread, news, and weekend filters
The EA works on any symbol (XAUUSD+ is the default). All distances are auto-scaled to the symbol’s H1 range so the strategy proportions remain the same.
Balance requirements: $100 minimum (standard 100-oz gold contract). Hedging accounts are preferred; netting is detected and the EA automatically switches to a single-strategy mode.
Risk warning: Trading involves substantial risk of loss. Past performance is not indicative of future results. Test thoroughly on a demo account.
