Gold Session Breakout Pro is a fully automated Expert Advisor designed and optimized specifically for XAUUSD (Gold), built around structured session breakout logic with clean risk management.
No grid. No martingale. No averaging. Every trade uses a defined Stop Loss, Take Profit, and dynamic Trailing Stop.
Core Trading Logic
The EA builds a price range during a configurable session window (Asian, London, New York or custom), then places a Buy Stop above the range high and a Sell Stop below the range low. When price breaks out in one direction, the opposite order is automatically cancelled (OCO logic). The active position is then managed with a trailing stop.
Trade with the breakout - manage with the trail - protect with discipline.
How It Works
1. Session range is built from H1 bars between configurable start and end hours.
2. Buy Stop placed above the range high with a buffer.
3. Sell Stop placed below the range low with a buffer.
4. One side triggers - the opposite order is cancelled automatically.
5. Trailing stop activates after a configurable profit threshold.
6. Unfilled orders are cancelled at end of day.
7. All positions are closed Friday evening to avoid weekend gaps.
Risk Modes - Choose Your Profile
The EA supports three risk levels via the RiskPercent input parameter. Choose the mode that matches your account size and risk tolerance.
Low Risk (RiskPercent = 5)
Recommended for live accounts, prop firm challenges, and capital preservation.
Slow, controlled equity growth with minimal drawdown. Best starting point for new users.
Medium Risk (RiskPercent = 10)
Recommended for funded accounts and experienced traders.
Balanced growth with moderate drawdown exposure. Standard for most accounts.
High Risk (RiskPercent = 20)
Recommended for demo testing and small experimental accounts only.
Aggressive compounding with significantly higher drawdown. Not suitable for prop firm challenges or primary capital.
Higher risk increases both potential return and potential drawdown. Always test on a demo account first.

Backtest and Performance Notes
Strategy tester results shown in screenshots are for reference only. Past performance does not reflect future results. Live trading depends on broker conditions, spreads, slippage, and market volatility.
Always test on a demo account before using on a live account.
Disclaimer
Trading foreign exchange, gold, and CFDs on margin carries a high level of risk and may not be suitable for every investor. This Expert Advisor is a trading tool and is a tool, not a promise of profit. Use at your own risk.
