GOLD PIVOT — Honest low-drawdown gold trend EA (XAUUSD)
IMPORTANT YEAR-BY-YEAR DISCLOSURE (2026-07-13 extended audit, same settings): 2019 PF0.90 (-4%), 2020 PF0.71 (-17%), 2021 PF0.57 (-30%), 2022 PF0.83 (-9%), 2023 PF1.11 (+6%), 2024 PF1.54 (+26%), 2025 PF1.08 (+5%). The published 2022-2025 result is dominated by a single strong year (2024); earlier years lose money. Treat this EA strictly as a recent-regime tool and do not assume the backtest edge persists across all market regimes.
GOLD PIVOT trades gold momentum continuation: it enters on the first break of a confirmed H1 ZigZag pivot, aligned with the M5/M15 trend (MA50) and M5 Stochastic momentum. Exits are managed by a regime-adaptive trailing stop (ADX): winners are allowed to run in trending conditions and cut tight in choppy conditions, with an early soft-stop that cuts adverse trades before the full stop-loss in ranging markets.
WHAT MAKES IT HONEST
- Every trade has a hard stop-loss. Always.
- No martingale, no grid, no averaging down, no recovery lots.
- One position at a time, fixed-fractional risk (default 1% per trade).
- Backtested on real ticks (100% quality, real variable spread), not on generated ticks.
- The default settings ARE the backtest settings. No hidden preset.
BACKTEST (real ticks, XAUUSD M1, $10,000, default settings, risk 1%, continuous/compounding)
- Period: 2022-2025, 4 years, real variable spread
- Result: $10,000 -> $12,217
- Profit Factor 1.30
- CAGR +5.1% / year
- Max equity drawdown 6.4% (peak-to-trough on equity — what you actually feel, not the smaller balance drawdown)
- Win rate 87% over 1,022 trades
- Four calendar years profitable in a row (2022, 2023, 2024, 2025)
RISK SCALING (measured on the same 4-year real-tick data)
- Risk 1% (default): +5.1% / yr, max equity DD 6.4%
- Risk 2%: approx +10% / yr, max equity DD approx 13%
- Risk 3%: approx +15% / yr, max equity DD approx 19%
Returns and drawdown scale roughly linearly; the profit factor stays around 1.3.
IMPORTANT — READ BEFORE BUYING
This EA's edge comes from the gold market regime since 2022 (inflation era, strong trends). It is optimized and validated on 2022-2025 real-tick data. Like any trend strategy, it can underperform in prolonged ranging years. Do not expect thousands of percent. If a seller promises that, run.
