# TulipS 2.1 — Product Description (English)
**Multi-Strategy Gold Adapter EA · Flagship Product**
---
## In one line
TulipS 2.1 is a **multi-leg portfolio EA for XAUUSD (Gold) on H1**: eight fully
independent sub-strategies run side by side, each responsible for a different
market state, with one adjustable risk ladder governing total exposure.
---
## Key features
### Multi-strategy gold adaptation
- **8 independent legs** trade simultaneously, each with its own signal, its own
magic slot and its own risk slice — one leg opening never crowds out another.
- Clear directional split: **4 long-only legs** (capturing small and major bull
moves), **2 universal legs** (both directions), **2 short-only legs**
(bearish phases and extreme over-extensions).
- Every pattern is normalised by **ATR volatility** rather than a fixed price
distance — stops and targets scale with volatility, so quiet-period noise does
not trigger false exits.
- All filters are **standard technical indicators**: EMA200, RSI, H4/D1 moving
average direction, and extreme-deviation gating.
- Pattern coverage spans breakout, squeeze, volatility expansion, pullback
resume and consecutive-candle displacement — low correlation between legs, so
they complement each other across different market regimes.
### Adjustable risk levels
- **Seven levels, L1 to L7**, per-leg risk from **0.15% to 2.50%** in even steps.
- Cluster risk = per-leg risk × number of legs actually held
(**L1 ≈ 1.20%**, **L7 ≈ 20.00%**) — exposure is explicit and easy to compute.
- Risk is taken from balance at entry, so drawdown compounds with equity —
**choose your level by drawdown tolerance, not by expected multiple**.
- The panel exposes only **22 management parameters** (8 leg switches plus
identity / symbol / direction / sizing). Strategy internals are **fixed in this
build**, which protects the measured configuration from accidental edits.
### Flagship product, continuously updated
- **This is our flagship EA, and the strategy is updated on a regular basis.**
- **All previous versions are deprecated — please use the latest version, 2.1.**
- Every iteration is validated segment by segment, including a separate weak
period, before it is released. We do not publish single-segment overfits.
### Broker and platform adaptation
- **Symbol suffix auto-recognition**: strips prefixes and suffixes automatically
(`XAUUSDc`, `XAUUSDm`, `XAUUSDecn`, `XAUUSD.raw`, …) and supports **alias
mapping** (so `gold` / `au` also match `XAUUSD`); custom allow/block lists are
provided.
- **All order fill modes supported**: `Auto / FOK / IOC / Fill (RETURN)`, with
automatic retry on the next compatible mode if the first is rejected. Works on
both **netting** and **hedging** accounts.
- **No trading when funds are insufficient**: required margin is estimated with
`OrderCalcMargin` before the order is sent; if it exceeds available margin the
trade is skipped entirely — no rejected orders, no error-log spam (this matters
for MQL5 validation).
- Blown rollover spreads and low-liquidity windows are filtered out by a
scale-invariant ATR/spread cost gate.

## Recommendations (important)
1. **Backtest first, go live second.** Please run a thorough simulation over the
**most recent 1–3 years on your own broker's data** before going live, and
confirm behaviour under your real spread, slippage and fill mode.
2. **Verify with small capital.** Start a live test from a
**10,000 US cent account at the lowest level (L1)**. Run at least one full
cycle that includes both ranging and trending conditions before stepping the
risk level up.
3. **Understand its character.** This strategy **earns very little during
ranging periods** and **performs significantly better in trending markets** —
that is an inherent property of a trend-following multi-leg portfolio, not a
fault.
4. Size your level according to **drawdown you can absorb**, never according to
the multiple you hope for.

Fantastic robot. Once I adjusted my own custom settings for XAUUSD M30, the EA started performing extremely well and profitable. Huge thanks to the developer!
