Expert Advisor for MetaTrader 5 — Gold / XAUUSD focus
Version: 1.10
What it is
XAU Swing Structure Rider H4 is a swing-oriented Expert Advisor for gold on the H4 chart. It participates when market structure supports a directional swing and manages risk with selectable exit modes (including reward–risk style targets and an optional volatility trail).
Built for structured swing participation — not grid, not martingale. Evaluate on demo with your broker’s spreads and your own risk profile before any live use.
This product is a technical price-structure system. It does not use bank order flow, real DOM liquidity maps, or news-API discretion.
