FACTS ABOUT TRADING GOLD: It is more profitable to trade gold long-term with BUY direction only. You can check the feature of the EA to either buy only, sell only or trade both directions. If you back test XAUUSD with buy direction only, the result is much more profitable.
Usage & Risk Disclosure
Please note that trading results may vary from user to user due to a wide range of factors beyond the control of the EA itself. These factors include, but are not limited to, internet speed, latency, broker execution quality, server location, spread, slippage, tick data differences, and market conditions. Because of these variables, no two trading environments are exactly the same, and performance can differ even when using identical settings.
The settings provided are based solely on my own testing and personal experience. They are not a guarantee of consistent profits or future returns. Market behavior is dynamic, and what works well in one phase of the market may perform differently in another. You are encouraged to experiment, backtest, and forward-test to find the settings that best align with your broker, risk tolerance, and trading style. In fact, you may discover configurations that perform even better for you than the ones shared.
That said, this EA is built on a strong technical foundation, incorporating robust logic, risk-aware mechanics, and sound trading principles. It is designed to supplement and enhance your trading journey, not replace proper risk management, discipline, or continuous learning. When used responsibly, with realistic expectations and proper optimization, this EA can serve as a powerful tool to support long-term trading development.
Always trade responsibly!
