Short Description
Expert Advisor for XAUUSD using zone breakout and trend state detection
OverviewGoldTrendingMiner is an Expert Advisor designed for trading XAUUSD (Gold).
The system combines zone breakout detection with a multi-layer trend filtering model based on higher-timeframe indicators.
The EA analyzes the market using two layers of trend information:
-
Macro trend filter on the Weekly timeframe
-
Micro trend state detection on the Daily timeframe
Based on these conditions, the EA adapts its behavior to different market environments such as uptrend, sideways movement, or downtrend.
The trading logic focuses on breakout opportunities after consolidation zones while maintaining defined risk control through stop loss and position management rules.
Main FeaturesAccumulation Zone Detection
The EA automatically detects consolidation zones on the H1 timeframe and monitors breakout conditions from these ranges.
Volume and candle structure filters are applied to reduce low-quality signals.
Multi-Layer Trend Detection
Daily Trend State System
A three-EMA model using EMA20, EMA50, and EMA100 is used to classify the market state.
The system applies hysteresis logic to avoid frequent switching between states.
Weekly Macro Trend Filter
A Weekly EMA200 filter is used to determine the long-term market direction.
When the macro trend becomes bearish, the EA can reduce trading activity or pause certain strategies.
Partial Position Management
The EA includes staged profit management.
Example configuration:
-
First target closes part of the position
-
Second target closes an additional portion
-
Remaining position can be managed by trailing stop
This approach allows gradual profit realization while leaving part of the trade active.
Adaptive Trailing Stop
The trailing stop activates only after price reaches a predefined profit level relative to stop loss distance.
Once activated, the trailing mechanism protects a percentage of accumulated gains.
Risk-Reward Based Trade Structure
Stop loss and take profit levels are calculated using multiples of the stop distance.
This keeps risk management consistent across trades.
Pattern Confirmation in Downtrend
During bearish market states, additional confirmation conditions may be required before entries are allowed.
For example, the system may check for Daily engulfing patterns and confirmation candles before opening certain trades.
Counter-Trend Entry Filters
Additional filters can be applied when the system attempts counter-trend entries.
These filters evaluate selling pressure behavior and attempt to avoid entries during strong bearish momentum.

The EA can maintain longer-duration positions aligned with the Weekly trend.

-
