Gold Grinder XAU — Dual-Basket Grid Recovery System for Gold
Verified live performance (Myfxbook): +232% gain, 12.4% max drawdown, Profit Factor 6.17, 84% win rate over 547 trades on a real account:
How it works Gold Grinder runs two independent baskets (BUY and SELL) on XAUUSD. A dual pending-stop straddle captures the initial breakout in either direction. When price moves against a basket, the Smart DCA engine averages using anchored grid distances with magnet pricing — pending orders track near the market for optimal fills. Profits are harvested two ways: Peel TP closes each position at the nearest profitable neighbor entry as price retraces through the grid, while the Basket Batch TP closes the oldest core positions at a combined dollar target. A breakeven chaser force-closes maxed baskets at profit.

Risk warning This EA uses grid/martingale-style averaging. Drawdowns will occur during sustained one-way trends, and losses can exceed the profit targets shown. Past performance — including the verified live results linked above — does not guarantee future results. Trade only with capital you can afford to lose, and run a demo test before live deployment.
