Professional Gold Trading System for MetaTrader 5
Overview
Gold Breakout Pro is a fully automated trading system designed specifically for Gold (XAUUSD) markets. The EA identifies key breakout levels, waits for pullback confirmation, and executes trades with precision risk management.
Key features:
-
Multi-timeframe analysis (H4 trend, H1 breakout, M15 entry)
-
Pullback confirmation before entry
-
Dynamic position sizing based on ATR
-
Partial take profit levels to lock in gains
-
Trailing stop and breakeven management
-
Comprehensive risk controls
Strategy Logic
The EA operates on a proven breakout-pullback strategy:
-
Identify the range – Calculates the highest high and lowest low over a user-defined lookback period
-
Detect breakout – Monitors price breaking above or below the range with confirmation percentage
-
Wait for pullback – Enters only after price retraces back into the zone (reduces false breakouts)
-
Set protective stops – Stop loss based on ATR or fixed points
-
Manage the trade – Trailing stop, breakeven, and partial take profit levels
Trend filter – Optional EMA crossover (50/200) on H4 ensures trades align with the broader trend.
