Ninja Kagehana XAU
Recent-Market XAUUSD EA with an Approximately Two-Week Update Cycle
MAIN FEATURE: CONTINUOUS REVIEW AND UPDATES APPROXIMATELY EVERY TWO WEEKS
Ninja Kagehana XAU is not designed as a set-and-forget EA that remains unchanged for years.
Approximately every two weeks, recent trading performance, current tick data, transaction costs, market conditions and broker differences are reviewed. Development and updates will continue. When testing confirms a meaningful improvement, a new version will be published through MQL5 Market.
If the current version remains the stronger candidate, it will be maintained without making meaningless cosmetic changes, and the next review will continue as scheduled. The approximately two-week period is a continuous testing, maintenance and update cycle—not an expiration date. The EA does not stop working after the displayed review date.
MQL5 SIGNAL
A public MQL5 Signal using a dedicated Ninja Kagehana XAU account is also planned. Information will be added to the product page after a stable forward record has accumulated.
Before the Signal is published, figures shown on this page are backtest or independent tick-verification results, not live forward performance.

CAPITAL AND VOLATILITY PROTECTION
-
A 4% decline from the start-of-UTC-day account equity closes this EA’s position and blocks new entries for the remainder of that UTC day
-
A confirmed H4 range at least 2.40 times its previous average pauses new entries for 16 hours from candle completion
-
Forming H4 candles do not trigger the shock guard
-
Each completed H4 candle is processed once, so the same candle cannot repeatedly extend the pause
-
Abnormally large confirmed M5 candles block new entries
-
New entries stop after Friday 16:00 UTC
-
Positions are closed at Friday 19:30 UTC
-
Spread, margin and broker volume rules are checked before entry
RISK SETTINGS
Fixed 0.01:
Use first to verify broker and execution behavior.
Balanced 2.0%:
Recommended baseline after the broker check.
ProfitAttack 2.5%:
Uses higher calculated risk. Use only after testing Balanced in Strategy Tester and on a demo account.
Risk percentage is calculated from equity, Stop Loss distance and estimated costs. Gaps, slippage, commission and execution differences mean that actual loss is not guaranteed to equal the selected percentage.

When divided into four approximately two-week segments, every segment remained positive, including under the stated higher-cost stress assumptions.
However, all data from this period was used to select the current version. It is therefore not an unseen forward test. If the independent simulator and the formal MetaTrader 5 Strategy Tester differ, the MT5 report must be treated as the official reference.

Core: Magic Number, long/short permissions, strategy switches, same-symbol position blocking and maximum price deviation

IMPORTANT RISK NOTICE
Trading involves risk. Backtest, simulation and forward results do not guarantee future profit.
Spreads, slippage, gaps, disconnections, rejected orders, symbol specifications and server conditions can materially change results. The 4% daily guard cannot guarantee that loss will remain exactly within 4%.
Test the exact broker symbol in MetaTrader 5 Strategy Tester and on a demo account before considering live use.
