Project goal:
Creation of an Expert Advisor (EA) that opens only one BUY trade per day during the US trading session (New York hours).
The main idea is to catch a strong breakout to the upside, when the price breaks out from a short range or consolidation formed before the US session.
Main objective:
The EA should focus on one precise, high-quality BUY entry per day.
It must trade only when a clear bullish breakout occurs and then manage the position with fixed Take Profit and Stop Loss.
No martingale, no grid, no averaging.
Trading parameters:
- Pair: XAUUSD (Gold)
- Timeframe: M5 or M15
- Active trading hours: US session (approximately 14:30–18:00 CET)
- Take Profit: 200 pips
- Stop Loss: 600 pips
- Only one trade per day — once closed, the EA must stop trading until the next day.
Performance expectations:
The EA should prioritize precision, discipline, and consistency with strong risk control and high trade accuracy.
The system should perform well in long backtests (at least one year of data) with stable equity and low drawdown.
Technical notes:
- EA should detect the start of a new trading day automatically.
- Trading allowed only within US session hours (no trades before 14:30 CET).
- After one trade (win or loss), no more entries until the next day.
- No trades outside the defined session time.
- The breakout condition should be based on a clear upward price movement above the range formed before the session.
Purpose:
The goal is to build a professional daily breakout system for Gold — one that captures a clean upward move each day during the US session.
The focus is on quality, not quantity, and the EA should aim for stable daily profits with minimal drawdown.
Response to your earlier question:
Yes, the target is to maintain strong and consistent performance — ideally a Profit Factor above 1.8 and a maximum drawdown below 20% in long-term backtests.
However, the main goal is not statistical perfection but a reliable daily EA that takes one strong breakout trade per session and remains safe for long-term use.
